UC's Black History Month events highlight success, inspire change
February events bring UC's African American achievements to life through celebration and reflection
As the university enters into its third century, UC looks back on its rich history of African American leaders, trailblazers and alumni who conquered barriers, inspired change and made the world a better place.
In celebration of February's Black History Month, all four UC campuses will offer a series of thought-provoking programs, lectures and fun events. Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend.
Throughout the month, UC marks two centuries of African American achievement that have inspired inclusion, a major element of UC's Next Lives Here strategic direction.
The following programming is open to the general public and all members of the campus community.
Celebration of Sankofa: Reaching, Teaching and Advancing

Throughout the month of February
UC's African American Cultural and Resource Center's (AACRC) tribute to Black History Month pays homage to Sankofa, one of the richest African principles. Employed as a communal pledge to "Go back and fetch it," Sankofa is a metaphorical image of a stylized bird with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward.
As a working theme for this year's 2020 Black History Month, the events promise to celebrate ways of connecting back while teaching and advancing the UC and local black communities.
We invite all students, staff, faculty, friends and the Cincinnati community to attend any number of these programs and events that widely embrace the beauty of black history.
