The purpose of Black History Month is to remember both the important people of African decent and the important events in Black history. In honor of Black History Month, Íæż½ã½ã will celebrate with a series of events organized and sponsored by a variety of organizations, departments and clubs that highlight and pay tribute to the achievements of African Americans and important events that contributed to U.S. history.
In addition to our university events, Íæż½ã½ã also chose to celebrate Black excellence by spotlighting several of our Black students and the many reasons why they feel this month is important.
