Ohio University will celebrate Black History Month 2021 with a slate of virtual events, including a keynote talk from veteran political strategist Donna Brazile on Feb. 17.
“For our OHIO community, Black History Month is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Black heritage, encourage reflection, and renew our resilience in the face of current challenges,” said Dr. Gigi Secuban, vice president for diversity and inclusion. “While we are living through a global pandemic that has disproportionately affected Black communities (and other communities of color), it is all the more important to celebrate the rich and vibrant contributions of Black Americans to our culture and democracy. I am grateful to all our dedicated students, alumni and staff for their tireless work, and I applaud them for all they do to make ours an ever more diverse and inclusive campus.”
