This display on the library's 2nd (main) floor was created by Beulah Kang, Program Coordinator at the Center for Intercultural Student Development. Shoes that appear in the display come from these cultures and regions: East & West Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, North American skater culture, and African and Asian-American cultures.

Note that there are many books featured, also. Some titles along with a one sentence description:

• How We Fight For Our Lives: a coming-of-age memoir about a young, black, gay man from the South 
• The Removed (available through MeLCat): Drawing on Cherokee folklore, this novel blends the real and the spiritual to dig into the deep reverberations of trauma.
• Americanah: by the award-winning Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, this is a story of two Nigerians making their way in the U.S. and the UK, raising universal questions of the search for identity and a home.
• Fun Home: Through narrative that is both heartbreaking and hilarious, readers are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father, who is a closeted homosexual.
