 Celebrations - Black Heritage Month and LatinX Heritage Month

 

The goal of LatinX Heritage Month, each September, is for students and our campus community to experience the beauty and complexity of Spanish culture, and hopefully gained more appreciation of Spanish-speaking cultures and their legacies in the US. The LatinX Heritage Month 2019 featured Dr. Paul Ortiz (U of FLorida) and activist Josie Valadez Freire.

During 黑人历史 Month in February, we honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout U.S. 历史. 黑人历史 Month 2020 included a day of service on Martin Luther King, Jr.美国黑人的一天 Read-In, the MLK Read-In, racial equity training, a talk by author David Blight, and the MSG Blues Trio concert, among many other events.

Members of the College community join hands with community partners to celebrate Legacy Day and Community Unity Day.
