Join Hill Memorial Library for an Afternoon in the Archives in partnership with East Baton Rouge Public Library. The Wyatt Houston Day Collection of Poetry by African Americans is an archival collection of more than 800 pieces of work by authors such as Phillis Wheatley, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Langston Hughes. The pieces in the Day collection feature materials from the early 18th century, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black Arts Movement. Selected materials will be displayed during the program, and patrons will have an opportunity to view them along with other opportunities for engagement.
