Black History Month

Black History is American History

February is Black History Month! Black History Month celebrates, honors, and brings increased awareness to the lives and contributions of the Black community. However, it is important to celebrate Black lives all year round.

UC San Diego is hosting several programs and events in recognition of Black History Month. This year’s theme is “The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity.” Visit blackhistorymonth.ucsd.edu to see a full list of events during the month of February. In addition, follow the Black Resource Center and the Black Student Union to view programming and events that celebrate Black lives all year round.

To encourage continued learning throughout the month and beyond, SSCP will feature the work of Rachel Elizabeth Cargle, who has created a self-guided learning series for Black History Month. The series includes daily prompts that encourage people to learn, celebrate, and affirm the Black experience in America and throughout the world—we encourage you to join us as we explore the learning series and to continue learning on your own.
