Black History Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of members of the black community throughout history. 

Join us as we take time to educate ourselves on the struggles and triumphs of the black community, and acknowledge the ongoing fight for equality and justice, so we can build a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

Featured Event: Black Feminist Fortnight A Celebration of Black Women and an Intersectional Approach to Black History Month and Women’s History Month February 25 – March 9, 2024

Every year, we celebrate Black History Month in February and Women’s History Month in March, and the lives and accomplishments and struggles of black women often get lost in the shuffle. This year, however, we propose bridging these two months of celebration with two weeks – a fortnight – to celebrate the achievements of black women.

This year’s inspiration comes from Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ selecting its first Black female president, President Laurie Carter, and the U.S. Supreme Court seating its first Black female justice, Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson.
