As a historical resource, this collection reflects the terminology, language, and imagery of the era in which it was created, and some items may include content which could be considered offensive or oppressive. The use of harmful, offensive, or misrepresentative language is not condoned by the college, but we are committed to providing open access to this significant material as evidence of the inequalities and attitudes of the time period and the ongoing fight for racial and social justice.
