Other articles celebrate achievements made by blacks on campus or announce events celebrating black heritage. In File Folder 11 and in the Oversize Folder are related news clippings from other publications along with posters for LBC and the Black Cultural Center events. Also included in this Sub-Group is a microfilmed collection of the combined minority student publications holdings of the University Archives, Ellis Library Special Collections, and the UM Library Depository.
