In an event held at the Africana Center, the members of the Black Students United kick off black history month in a ceremony meant to connect the past with the future.
“The black community usually come[s] together as a whole during time of crisis,” Alexandria Maloney grad told The Sun. “I want that to extend to celebratory occasions.”
Clemente ’02 called for an uncompromising movement against racial oppression at a lecture Tuesday at the Africana Center.
“[This conversation] is an important and positive part of history, because it reminds us if things like that don’t happen, I might not be here,” Acree said.
