UPIKE proudly celebrates
Black History Month

Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. History. The event grew out of the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black History.

For more information regarding Black History Month, visit the Association for the Study of African American Life & History (ASALH) website.

The Offices of Diversity and Student Activities are proud to present a comprehensive list of events for 2023 that allow the UPIKE commUNITY to participate. Below, you will find links to view listings of this month’s events.
