Looking for something to watch to kick off Women’s History Month? Try the first season of the excellent PBS documentary series, Makers: Women Who Make America. The focus of this three-episode series is on the birth, struggles, and advances of the modern Women’s Movement, from the 1950s to the present time.

You can learn more about this documentary series by visiting the PBS Makers website, which has more information about the film’s creators, as well as discussion guides for teachers and others.

Black in Latin America

For the last in our series of “In the Collection” features related to Black History Month, the Library brings you Black in Latin America, a 2-disc, 4-episode series on DVD that explores the intersections of race, identity, and Latin American history. Narrated by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this series examines the legacy of slavery and colonialism in Latin America by specifically looking at Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. I first caught Black in Latin America on PBS a few years ago and was hooked. It’s a fascinating glimpse of racial politics and identity in the larger “America.”

You’ll find this engaging series in our open DVD collection on the first floor of the library, call number F1419.N4 B533 2011. There is also a book to accompany the DVD, which is located on the 2nd floor of our library in the stacks (call number: F1419.N4 G38 2011) You can find out more about Black in Latin America by checking out the accompanying PBS website and the preview video below.
