Black History Month
February marks Black History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions of Black Americans in this country; a time to acknowledge the lasting achievements of the people of the African diaspora who have shaped American history; and a time to walk alongside today’s Black leaders as they lead the work to create a truly anti-racist, inclusive community for all. We encourage you to participate in the many events taking place at our college with leading Black voices to recognize the work, culture, and history of Black people in Rhode Island and beyond.
