California University of Pennsylvania
Celebrates Black History Month
It’s been said knowing where you have been directs where you are heading.
For me, celebrating Black History Month is about honoring African Americans and their allies for forging a path that I now have the privilege to walk.
The theme Roots, Rights, Revivals recognizes our Roots- the history that sustains us and gives us the solid ground on which we stand; our Rights- the privilege and equality afforded to us on the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors and those who stood by them; and Revival- our resurgence and undying will to never give up and always move forward, regardless of the circumstance.
We celebrate these things during Black History Month and are motivated by them
throughout the year.
