Upcoming Lecture: "'Why February?': The History of Black History Month"

During Black History Month and every day, we encourage our community to engage with opportunities to reflect upon the past, recognize where we are now, and resolve to build a stronger future for everyone. In her upcoming lecture on Wednesday, February 7, “‘Why February?’: The History of Black History Month”, Deirdre McCorkindale, assistant professor of Black Canadian Studies and History in the College of Arts, will explore the origin of Black History Month nearly 100 years ago, its history, and the misconceptions that continue to surround it. This event will run from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
