Event Details | Black History Month wouldn’t have been possible without Negro History Week’s creation in the United States in 1926. It all began with an idea by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, that emerged from frustration and the belief that Black people should know their past in order to participate intelligently in society. This session provided an overview of how Black History Month was created, who created it, and shed light on the important outcome.

Presentation Slides

Event Details | Professor Esther Villegas-Sandoval from College of the Sequoias will outline seven (7) major shared themes in this session, including: the coming out and "the undocumented closet"; the various stages of fear; inconsistent communication with parents; and much, much more. A huge "Thank you" to Professor Villegas-Sandoval for providing such valuable information on this very relevant and important topic.

The second part of this series will be on April 7, 2025.
