100 Years of Texas Tech History

Exhibits Celebrate Black History, Women, Hispanic Heritage, More

The University Library is presenting a series of exhibits curated from the University Archives. The exhibits are located in the Library's Croslin Room and are in celebration of the university's charter centennial year. The first exhibit, titled “Education Has No Color – Celebrating Black History at Texas Tech University,” was an all-encompassing display celebrating breakthroughs and highlighting Black history artifacts at the university. The exhibit's title is derived from a quote regarding educator Lucille S. Graves' success in breaking the university's race barrier in 1961 after several failed attempts to enroll.

The exhibit ran from January 17 – March 16.  Other exhibits include:

"Women Who Shaped Texas Tech - Celebrating Women's History at Texas Tech University" - March 16-May 18, 2023

“Unidos Podemos / Together We Can – Celebrating Hispanic Heritage at Texas Tech University” - Sept. 14-Oct. 12, 2023

“Through the Years: PRIDE at Texas Tech University”  - Oct. 12-Oct. 16, 2023
