this year centers around the theme of Black Resistance, which highlights the constant effort towards greater equality for Black Americans. During history, these individuals have had to and continue to resist oppression in all aspects of life to fight for a place in society. Through struggles with systemic poverty, equal housing, education, and voting rights, Black Resistance has advocated for the opportunity to live a dignified, self-determined life in the US and beyond.
A message from our VPI:
Though we are trying to forge forward in the battle for racial equality, Black History Month serves as a reminder that we are far from it. It takes all of us being committed to reeducating ourselves and being able to recognize the issues we all contribute to, not only during February, but year round. We should take this time to celebrate, understand, and amplify Black voices, remaining mindful of the work ahead and learning how to improve from history.
