Over the course of the spring and summer, we'll be featuring items from our archives related to the 1976 Bicentennial.

We're calling this series "What Was In the News?" From the DeKalb New Era newspaper, January 1976. From movies to politics, the DeKalb newspapers covered it all! Contact the archives to make an appointment to view the DeKalb newspapers books.
