Started a new job and well things are a bit crazy at the moment.
We are in the final days of Black History Month. I have had the pleasure of putting together displays for this event for a number of years both in academic and public library settings.
Some things I have done (and most that have no pictures) are make folded table signs for the study tables. On them were pictures and paragraphs about folks who had contributed to academics, art, fashion, sports, politics, popular culture, and science. Also, I made it a point to include super famous, not-so-super famous, dead and alive figures.
When I was at the art school the population was dense and I attempted to create mini bios (with photos) of significant contributors to the disciplines we taught (culinary, audio, fashion, gaming) along with the old standbys.
At the public library, I put together a couple of "pop-up" display areas like one in the children's area, adult bio, and for the display case I printed out color photos of books that we had in the branch of significant figures.
I did my best to cast a wide net of peoples (my comfort zone is art and music) so that there could be something for everyone.
Here are only a few photos I have of what I have done in the past.
