Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids

Description: With the end of the Civil War in 1865, legal slavery came to an end in the United States. After reconstruction in the mid-1870s, particularly in Southern states, laws were established that deprived African American citizens of these same rights, and enforced segregation in housing, education and other domains of life. These new regulations were known as Jim Crow laws. During this period, racial discrimination was commonly found in the North as well. Despite this, a legal and political movement for civil rights challenged these discriminatory laws and practices throughout the first half of the twentieth century. The 1963 March on Washington marked a watershed for this growing movement social movement. This exhibit explores the background, passage, and legacy of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, with particular emphasis on conditions in Delaware. This exhibition was originally on display in the first floor Information Area of Morris Library from February 4--July 11, 2014.

Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids

Description: From its very earliest days, the University of Delaware Library has benefitted from the generosity of both monetary gifts and donations of materials, including rare books and manuscripts.  Many of Special Collections’ most unique items have been gifts, and without the munificence of donors, these items could not have been otherwise acquired. The exhibition features items which were donated in the past decade. The materials on display are organized to complement Special Collections’ core collecting areas of literature, the arts, history and Delawareana, and the history of science. This exhibition was originally on display in the Special Collections main gallery on the second floor of Morris Library from August 23-December 16, 2011.
