Help preserve an important piece of MSU history. đź’šđź“š
MSU Libraries is working to digitize the Grapevine Journal, a groundbreaking student publication founded in 1971 that amplified Black student voices and documented campus and community life during a pivotal moment in history.
This project will help make the publication more accessible for research, teaching and future generations of Spartans.
Support the digitization effort and help preserve these stories for years to come!
