Black History Month Forum
Tuesday, Feb. 16
Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King Jr.—to name a few—have paved the way for equality. In 1976, Negro History Week evolved to Black History Month, largely due to the black power movement of the ’70s, to promote, preserve and research the culture’s tranformations and successes. Five panelists from Westminster College and the U will discuss the value of celebrating Black History Month.
Gore Auditorium, Westminster College, 1840 S. 1300 East, 7:30-8:45 p.m., 801-832-2600
