The national theme for Black History Month 2025 is African Americans and Labor. One case features Daily Illini articles clippings curated by University Archives staff highlighting some history of labor movements in the Champaign-Urbana community. Another case displays facsimiles from the Black Newspapers Collection of the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections, a database of digitized historical newspapers. Facsimiles will include mastheads and advertisements for Black newspapers, clippings of Black labor organizations, and advertisements from Black-owned businesses.

These are the cases on the second floor near the circulation desk and the reading room.
