Celebrating Black History Month at UK: A Time for Connection, Celebration, and Reflection

As we approach Valentine's Day, the Black Student Union (BSU) at the University of Kentucky is excited to kick off its celebrations for Black History Month. This special time is an opportunity for our community to come together, connect with one another, and celebrate the rich history and culture of African Americans.

Upcoming Events

Throughout February, BSU will be hosting a variety of events that are sure to educate, entertain, and inspire. On February 14th, we'll be presenting a real-life version of Family Feud in the Whitehall Classroom Building at 5PM. Don't miss this fun twist on one of America's favorite games!

On February 15th, join us for an evening of film as we screen Black Panther at Regal Hamburg Pavilion Stadium 16 Theatre at 7PM. And, thanks to our partnership with the NAACP, you'll have a chance to win a pair of tickets to this highly anticipated movie.

Music and Spirit

The UK's Black Voices Gospel Choir will be performing at two church services on February 25th - don't miss their soulful sounds! This group has been a staple of our university community since its formation in 1970, serving as a spiritual outlet for students through music.

Mental Health Matters

The NAACP is also hosting an important event on February 13th, where students can come together to discuss current issues affecting the black community, including mental health. This is a vital conversation that we hope will lead to increased understanding and support for one another.

BSU's Birthday Bash

And finally, join us as we celebrate BSU's birthday on February 16th in Patterson Hall at 6PM! We're excited to mark this special occasion with our fellow students and look forward to many more years of community building and celebration.

Black History Month: A Time for Reflection

As we observe Black History Month, we take a moment to reflect on the contributions and accomplishments of African Americans throughout history. This is also a time to celebrate our own roots and heritage as African American students at the University of Kentucky. We are proud to be part of a community that values diversity and inclusion.

We hope you'll join us for these events and activities, which are all designed to bring us together in celebration of Black History Month. Whether you're a current student or simply a member of our university community, we welcome you to participate in these important conversations and celebrations. Let's come together to honor our shared history and look forward to a brighter future!
