CELEBRATING BLACK CELEBRATING BLACK

In February we celebrate Black History Month! One way that the University of Idaho, and the history department celebrated this month was with an exhibit for all to access in the universities library!

The exhibit found in the universities library highlights black owned business, and black inventors! This exhibit was created by the Black History Research and the University of Idaho Library. Also throughout the semester the Black Lives Matter Speaker Series was occurring. Including speakers on things such as voting rights and wrongs, the challenge of black genealogy, and the role of black cultural centers.These events, and others, demonstrate the university's increasing commitment to telling full histories.
