Nota Bene: Celebrating Black History Month

The true wealth of our nation resides in our people. This month, during Black History Month, we honor those who have sacrificed much—often courageously so—in order to make contributions to our society that benefit us all. We celebrate African-Americans who have enriched our nation in education, science and technology, literature and the arts, public service, the fight for freedom and justice, and much more.

A variety of programs have been planned to celebrate Black History Month at Virginia Wesleyan. A special series of events began last week with our Ethics Bowl demonstration—“Ethical Issues in a Multicultural Society”—and will continue throughout the month of February. Below you will find a more detailed informational poster.

I encourage you to learn more about these programs and join the University in celebrating African-Americans' vital contributions to this country. This extraordinary history is worth remembering and honoring not just during Black History Month, but always.
