Concerned Black Students (CBS) and members of the Black History Month Planning Committee organized an exciting lineup of events throughout the month of February.
Activities included a Black Knowledge Conference with students from several universities, which celebrated and analyzed black culture via various discussion sessions on such topics as youth leadership, empowerment and “Our Debt to Africa: What Today’s Youth Owes Its Ancestors.”
An African Dance Workshop, the annual Black Quiz Bowl at Otterbein College, and a presentation by James W. Loewen, a former professor of race relations at the University of Vermont and the author of Lies My Teacher Told Me and Lies Across America – What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong also occurred.
