The African-American History Month kickoff, a celebration through music and dance, takes place today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons.

LLCC is celebrating African-American History Month during February with various events.

The theme for this year’s observance is “RACE: Learn, Grow, Reflect.” Each event is connected to one of four action steps. Recognize: We live in a multicultural world, and diversity matters. Accept: Everyone is not treated equally, and justice matters. Cultivate: Nurture a strong mind and body because health and wellness matter. Educate: Learn about cultural competencies because diversity, equity and inclusion matter.

The LLCC African-American History Month Committee and LLCC Student Life are event co-sponsors.
