IU Black History Month Events.

From the BHM website:

On behalf of the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs and the IU Bloomington Black History Month Committee, we are inviting you to join us celebrating Black History Month. The Black History Month website will navigate you through the activities that the Indiana University and Bloomington Communities will feature during the month of February.

The 2008 Black History Month theme is “Building Our Community: Celebrating Our Past; Securing Our Future.” During Black History Month, the campus and the community will come together to celebrate the invaluable contributions that African Americans have made to our community and to our larger society. As we strive to build a better and more equitable community for all of our citizens, our celebration will include programs and activities which, while taking a look at our past, will offer a vision for the future.

The variety of programs planned for Black History Month include our keynote lecture by Terrance Roberts, a member of the Little Rock Nine; Film Director Raquel Cepeda and the Blood Diamonds Documentary; Step Afrikah! Step Show Performance; and the African American Dance Company and its 11th Annual Dance Showcase. Our hope is that you will regularly refer to the calendar of Black History Month programs and activities on this website and join us in our month long celebration. A full schedule of events and contact information are available on our calendar link.

Sincerely,

David F. Hummons,
Chair, IU Bloomington Black History Month Committee
