Black History Month

February is Black History Month and the theme for 2024 is African Americans and the Arts.

From the Association for the Study of African American Life and History:

"African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary, and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world. In 2024, we examine the varied history and life of African American arts and artisans."

This February, there will be a series of online and in-person events planned to celebrate and share Black wellness, art, literature, music, and community across the Los Rios colleges. Activities kick off on Thursday, February 1 with The Los Rios Black Experience Virtual Forum: “Learning While Black: Self-Care in the Classroom” from 10:00 to 11:30 am presented online via Zoom, hosted by FLC’s BASE (Black. African. Student. Edu-Culture) program.
