Throughout the Lewis University Library at Romeoville Campus, exhibits and displays celebrate the history of African American achievements, both local and national, along with the power of love to build bridges. Stroll through for inspiration from the brave contributions of iconic heroes.
Founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926, Black History Month is an annual celebration of African American life, history, and culture.
The 2025 theme, "African Americans and Labor," highlights how various forms of work intersect with Black experiences.
The Library features a display case in the main vestibule that highlights the contributions made by our Black Student Union over the decades.
