Black History Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of members of the black community throughout history. 

Join us as we take time to educate ourselves on the struggles and triumphs of the black community, and acknowledge the ongoing fight for equality and justice, so we can build a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

Featured Event: Black Feminist FortnightA Celebration of Black Women and an Intersectional Approach to Black History Month and Women’s History MonthFebruary 23 – March 7, 2025

Black Feminist Fortnight bridges Black History Month in February and Women's History Month in March with a dedicated celebration of Black women's achievements. Recognizing that the lives, accomplishments, and struggles of Black women are often overlooked when these two important months are observed separately, this two-week (fortnight) event offers a focused opportunity to honor their contributions and stories.
