Brian Mitchell leads a discussion with Dr. Loretta Meeks, Ken Page, Dr. Lesa Johnson, and Frank McNeil that delves into the enduring strength and adaptability of Black history in the face of attempts to marginalize it. Black history is a tapestry woven with stories of triumph, resiliency, and cultural richness that have persisted despite systemic efforts to diminish their significance. This resilience is evident in the preservation of oral histories, the vibrancy of cultural traditions, and the ongoing contributions of Black individuals to society. By celebrating this resilience, we recognize that Black history is not just a record of the past but a living, evolving narrative that continues to shape and inspire future generations. The Juneteenth Lunch and Learn series was created in the spirit of "freeish" which underscores the journey toward true liberation and acknowledgment, ensuring that the legacy of Black history thrives beyond erasures.

Celebrate Black History Month with a dynamic concert spotlighting talented local artists! This concert will honor the rich legacy of Black music and culture by featuring performances across genres including jazz, gospel, spoken word, tap dance, and poetry. The performance includes performances by 天美传媒s, faculty/staff, and guest artists from the community.  Join us for this vibrant celebration of heritage, creativity, and unity, as we honor the past and uplift the future through music and art.
