Throughout February, Indiana University campuses embrace and honor Black History Month with events, speakers, and programming recognizing African American achievements and celebrating Black history, culture, art, and leadership.
A celebration that grew out of initiatives at college campuses, a brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson, African American historian, scholar, educator, and publisher, as well as other prominent African Americans, Black History Month officially became a nationwide recognition in 1976. Ever since IU has taken time in February to honor the achievements of African Americans and examine the historical and contemporary dimensions of the Black experience.
We celebrate Black history and culture in February and throughout the year. Engage in rich and exciting programs, pick from a reading list or playlist, or make a gift to further diversity across Indiana University.
