Black History Month

Black History Month is about showing respect and recognition for the hard work of and sacrifices made by African Americans and the pan-Afro community, while celebrating their accomplishments and contributions. As the former President Obama puts it:

"It’s about the lived, shared experience of all African Americans, high and low, famous and obscure, and how those experiences have shaped and challenged and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so we can create a better future. It’s a reminder of where we as a country have been so that we know where we need to go."

Here at the Northeastern San Francisco and Silicon Valley regional campuses, we'll be highlighting Black culture, food and landmarks as well as host a karaoke event to bring us together as a community and to continue educating ourselves about Black History.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are foundational values at Northeastern University. While we bring awareness to and celebrate Black history and excellence, we must continue to educate ourselves on the Black experience.

We invite you to start or continue the conversation on the SFBA All Students Teams channel.
