Webliography of African-American Champaign-Urbana

This Lab Note reflects one part of a year-long project called eBlackChampaign-Urbana. Our interest here is to provide better access to the dispersed documentation of local African-American history and culture in Champaign-Urbana, using digital technology to aggregate and enliven historical and contemporary information. Although this webliography focuses primarily on substantial, in-depth texts documenting local African-American life, we are also aggregating into the eBlackCU.net website URLs for local African-American websites, facebook pages, photographs, newspaper clippings, flyers, posters and other ephemeral documentation of Champaign-Urbana's Black heritage. All are welcome to help us fill in gaps in this webliography and in our website by visiting http://eBlackCU.net/portal/contribution and adding files, citations, photographs, movies and memories of African-American life in Champaign-UrbanaOpe
