MACOMB Dr. Keona Ervin delivered the keynote address of the virtual opening ceremony for Black History Month at Western Illinois University’s Gwendolyn Brooks Cultural Center on Tuesday.
Ervin, an associate professor of history at the University of Missouri-Columbia, talked about Black feminism in her keynote speech, Reimagining Liberation: Black Feminism from the Combahee River Collective to the Movement for Black Lives.
“I have to say this is this is quite an honor,” Erwin said. “I don t take for granted the opportunity to meet with new learning communities to think through the issues of our time, and especially to think through what historical study can offer us as we do that. It s also an honor to be with the WIU community because this institution shares its home with the late, great, Reverend C.T. Vivian.”
