Black History Month

We are honoring this centennial by creating space to experience the full spectrum of the Black experience: the joy, the sorrow, the profound achievements, the creativity, and the deep bonds of community that sustain all of us. Throughout February, the Black Cultural Center, student organizations, academic departments, and campus partners are hosting events designed for connection, learning, and celebration.

These programs include: the Center for the Arts (CFA) community conversations on "good trouble," a Black History Month film series, moderated conversations with artists/entertainers, panels highlighting excellence in uniformed service, creative arts workshops, concerts, citizenship dialogues, and community-building events infused with music, food, and fellowship. We invite all Hokies to engage, learn, and celebrate with us this month. You are welcomed and valued here!

A snapshot of these events is included, and the entire campus community is invited to join us as we commemorate a century of Black history celebrations and imagine the futures they make possible. Black history is not just a month; it is essential to understanding ourselves and our world. We look forward to celebrating with you!
