Black History Month

The month of February is dedicated to honoring Black history and heritage in the United States. In recognition of Black History Month, the library would like to highlight a few notable books that have been added to our collection. 

Nellie Francis, born in 1874, was the only African American graduate of St. Paul High School in 1891. Francis is credited with writing the related bill for an anti-lynching statute, that passed through the Minnesota Legislature in 1920 (MNopedia). According to MNopedia, she was probably the first African American woman to lobby the Minnesota Legislature. In warmer weather, you can visit The Woman Suffrage Memorial Garden, found on the northeast corner of the Minnesota State Capitol mall, that is dedicated Francis’ efforts in securing voting rights for women. You can learn more about her life in, Nellie Francis: Fighting for Racial Justice and Women's Equality in Minnesota.

A recent Pioneer Press article, Rondo Land Bridge makes $6 million pitch to Legislature for pre-design, describes a plan to bring the Rondo neighborhood back together. The neighborhood was split during the construction of I-94. In, The Days of Rondo, Evelyn Fairbanks describes growing up in the Rondo neighborhood and the people that made up her community. “And through the years she was also discovering what it meant to grow up as a black person in Minnesota.”

Where Fairbanks’ story ends another book in the library’s collection begins. Melvin Whitfield Carter Jr. grew up in the Rondo neighborhood during the building of I-94. Diesel Heart: An Autobiography, follows Carter’s life from Rondo to the St. Paul Police Department. “Diesel Heart is the story of a leader who created a powerful family legacy by standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.”
