Extractions: Corresponding with the Library's extensive holdings in American history and culture, the Newberry has a strong collection of African American materials. The Newberry's main strength in the field of African American Studies falls in the anti-slavery movement. With over 2000 books and pamphlets relating to anti-slavery, the Newberry has over 66% of the materials listed in Dumond's A Bibliography of Antislavery in America and 70% of the titles cited in Turner's Antislavery Sentiment in American Literature Some types of primary sources one might find at the Newberry relating to African American history and culture include For instance, the Newberry's Driscoll collection of American sheet music is a major source for the study of African American music and culture between 1818 and 1915. Importantly, these original sources are complemented by later published editions of primary sources, such as transcriptions of slave narratives prepared by the Federal Writers' Project (1936-38) The American Slave , portions of Stampp's microfilm set Records of Ante Bellum Southern Plantations , and selected Freedmen's Bureau Records on microfilm.

College graduates can use their education in a wide variety of occupations. Agencies and organizations in the public and private sectors need staff capable of working with individuals of all backgrounds; therefore, a major in African American Studies greatly enhances an applicant's ability to meet position qualifications. Many students enter the teaching field and/or pursue graduate degrees. All students are encouraged to consider a double major which combines African American Studies with another academic discipline, such as sociology or psychology, to ensure their knowledge, skills, and special insights are exceptionally marketable. The following list is a representative sample of job titles for individuals with an African American Studies major. The list represents some, but certainly not all, careers which African American Studies majors may consider.

Extractions: "Fortunately, this is not a book about South Africa's present, but about its past, written in the belief that a better understanding of current changes is possible if we better understand the past. In particular, it is the story of three influential men who spent their lives in the pursuit of the democratic society that is now emerging. In their own way, in their own time, each is a hero of the struggle." 5-03 Preimplementation Genetic Diagnosis (Genetics and IVF Institute) Describes the PGD procedure. "Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) offers an alternative to more traditional methods of prenatal genetic testing (chorionic villous sampling or amniocentesis), and allows genetic analysis to be performed on early embryos prior to implantation and pregnancy. This provides couples at risk for certain genetic diseases the opportunity to know that any pregnancy they achieve should be unaffected." 6-02
