"Harmful Language"

The Merrill-Cazier Library recognizes the designation of 'harmful language" as a descriptive label to identify documents that contain rhetoric/language that is not considered accurate or appropriate in modern perspectives. Some of the documents in the collection have been identified under this practice. This designation may be added to additional materials through ongoing review.
