PennWest Black History Month ‘23
Throughout the month of February, our PennWest community joins the nation in recognizing Black History Month. The annual observance presents opportunities for reflection and discovery as we celebrate the past, present and future achievements of African Americans.
The Association for the Study of African American Life and History has selected “Black Resistance” as the theme of Black History Month 2023. Resistance is a primary thread in the fabric of African American History. Let us continue to learn from one another, and may we all be encouraged to speak up and take action toward a "more perfect union."
Please join us at the following virtual programs and watch for student organization activities across PennWest University.
