For Black History Month here are a couple of links recently featured by the Sisters of Mercy on behalf of all Catholics. They are not relevant to Dr. Jeremy Blackwood's recent faculty development talk on "Black Catholic Theology."

• #SistersofMercy, https://www.sistersofmercy.org/blog/2020/11/17/black-catholics-hearing-voices/?fbclid=IwAR32lRsoH5YdBE1okf72THOY_TnwCdrA4fhdH2g-DC3ilEHFlp2q5atEjWA  
• #BlackCatholicsSyllabus, https://tiapratt.com/blackcatholicssyllabus-2/   This syllabus was created by Dr. Tia Noelle Pratt, Curator, and is a collection of resources related to Black Catholics in the United States.  It is intended for academics, journalists, educators, diocesan institutions, parishes, congregations of women and men religious, and the general public.  This syllabus prioritizes the work of Blacks in order to center the voice of Black Catholics in the creation of their own narrative.

Print Journals: Thank you for your input on print journals we should keep. We are refining our list and determining where we will relocate our holdings. A list of our most recent decisions can be found here: https://leodehonlibrary.libguides.com/services/journals I will try to check in with every faculty member before the Faculty Council meeting on Wednesday, February 24, 2021. We will begin moving the collection in March.
