All month long: What better way to honor this month than by reading a book by a Black or African American author, or by watching a movie by a Black or African American director? AAEC President James Forte has compiled some helpful ideas and inspiring quotes in this presentation.

All month long: The University of the Pacific has a slate of events planned, including a talk by two members of "The Exonerated Five," and a celebration of African dance. Get all the details here: calendar.pacific.edu/group/Blackhistorymonth.
