This week’s African-American History Month events include:
Tuesdays, Feb. 8, 15 and 22 – Educate: African-American history virtual book club exploring “Dear Martin” by Nic Stone, 11 a.m., Zoom: bit.ly/LLCC-BookClub.
Wednesday, Feb. 9 – Educate: “What do you know?” African-American History trivia. A news posting in the Lincoln Landing app will be available that day and direct you to the trivia form. Students scoring 80% or higher will have their names entered in a drawing for a gift card featuring black-owned restaurants.
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.
