In celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday, Professor Lori Humphrey Newcomb will be speaking on the legacy of University of Illinois professor T.W. Baldwin. The Baldwin Collection at the Rare Book & Manuscript Library, comprised of approximately 5,800 early modern books, was built by T.W. Baldwin in an attempt to document education in Elizabethan England.
Join the University Library for the screening of two short films: Home of Their Own and Albert Lee: A Man of Substance. Following the films, there will be a short Q&A session with Dr. Vanessa Rouillon (the film scriptwriter). Both films discuss early African American history at the University of Illinois, Albert Lee, and the Champaign “North” End community.
