Today we're learning about how libraries came about especially since they're 17,000 libraries in the US alone. We are joined by Librarian and Archivist Jehan Giles, who helps us take a look at the relationship between libraries and Black folks and helps us explore if we still need libraries today.

History of Libraries: The Original Search Engine with Librarian Jehan Giles

That Wasn't In My Textbook is our bi-weekly podcast that helps us uncover the things we always wished we learned from that boring, bulky textbook. Tune in to the history class you never knew you ALWAYS wanted to take - because history is not only what happened in the past but also what's happening this very second.
