(MURFREESBORO) “The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity” is the theme of MTSU’s 2021 celebration of Black History Month.
“The Black family is and has always been the cornerstone of the Black community,” said Daniel Green, assistant vice president of student life, manager of Intercultural and Diversity Affairs and chair of the Black History Month Committee. “The rich tapestry of history, culture, support, love and respect within the Black family is the foundation upon which we as African Americans all stand.”
In accordance with COVID-19 safety protocols, a virtual kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1, at https://bit.ly/3oHvgnG. Free games, door prizes and a discussion of the theme are on the agenda.
