Black History Month 2025


February 3-February 28On campus
 

Black History Month aims to fight Anti-Black racism and advance efforts to decolonize the school environment. Indeed, ur goals focus first, on changing the narrative inherited from the colonial mechanism whereby Blacks are portrayed egatively, then, on assserting our rights to self representation, and voicing our amazing inheritance built through victory over slavery, discrimination and other obstacles. Through different activities in February, we unveil a brighter perspective that instills knowledge of self, pride and an urgency to reframe the Black experience, and finally, lay the foundation to build a safe space that nurtures respect, constructive discussion and inclusion.
