SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The UC San Diego Library announced Thursday the addition of its first African Americana collection the Turner Collection to its Special Collections and Archives.
Donated by Steve Turner, a UCSD 1982 alumnus and an avid collector, the collection is composed of more than 300 items including rare photographs, pamphlets, photocards, posters and pinback buttons, many from the 19th century and all of which shed new light on the Black experience, particularly in the American West. We are honored to have received this collection, said Erik Mitchell, the Audrey Geisel University Librarian. Each piece offers a window into American history, showing a different perspective on times past how compelling and necessary.

Olin Pete Coones Jr., 64, died of cancer in Kansas City, Kansas on Sunday
His attorneys said Coones succumbed to a health condition that went undiagnosed and untreated while he was in prison
Coones was released from prison in November when his conviction for the 2008 shooting deaths of Kathleen and Carl Schroll was thrown out
His defense attorneys successfully argued that Kathleen, who was his late father s caregiver, had framed him for murder
They say Kathleen actually killed herself and her husband after she was caught mishandling Coones father s money
Coones is survived by his wife Dee, their six children and the grandchildren he met for the first time following his release
