Celebrating 100 Years of Black History: Beyond a Week, Beyond a Month
Join us for our annual Black History Month Assembly on February 11 in the PPAS Auditorium! Our themes will explore the depth and breadth of Black history and culture through the following lenses:
- Music Across the Decades in U.S. Black History
- Social Movements and Protest
- Theater / Poetry
- Black Film and Visual Artists
As we reflect on Black History Month, it is important to honor its origins. What began as Negro History Week on February 7, 1926, founded by historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, was established to recognize the contributions and achievements of Black Americans that were largely overlooked in traditional narratives.
Over time, this observance expanded into what we now recognize as Black History Month, a powerful opportunity to educate, celebrate, and affirm the enduring impact of Black history, past present, and future. Thus, the title of this year’s assembly.
