Two historical displays are being presented by the Government Publications department of the University Libraries this summer. Throughout July, the exhibit "Race and Public Education in Memphis" will document the course of school desegregation in the city, including efforts involving the University of Memphis.

During August, the display will shift to the Civil War as seen through the eyes of the common soldier.

Both exhibits include numerous photographs and original documents.

They are located on the fourth floor of the Ned R. McWherter Library, near the entrance to the Special Collections department.
