University of Tulsa celebrates Black History Month
The University of Tulsa is marking Black History Month this year with a number of events meant to highlight the culture and accomplishments of Black Americans. Several of these will repeat weekly. The United States has celebrated Black History Month in February for more than 50 years, using this month as an opportunity to spotlight Black people in American history; other countries like Canada and the Netherlands have also started a comparable tradition. In addition to learning about history, people can celebrate by tangibly supporting Black people through promotion of Black businesses.
The Association of Black Collegians will spotlight Black owned businesses each week on their Instagram (@tulsaabc). On Mondays, they will highlight a Black owned student business, while on Wednesdays they will highlight a Black owned business anywhere in Tulsa.
