WELCOME

In February 2023, Stony Brook University will honor the culture and historical contributions of the Pan-African community, through educational and cultural activities reflecting the theme: Sankofa! Celebrating the African Diaspora.  

Throughout February, University offices, departments, and student clubs  and organizations will host a variety of activities to celebrate and honor African American/ Black heritage. The Black History Month tradition is designed to increase awareness about the historical legacy of the African American/Black experience in the struggle for equality, inclusion, social change, and social justice.

We invite you to participate in the many  programs that will be held, including the Black History Month Opening Program on February 1.  Please RSVP by January 30.  

Feel free to visit this website often for up to date program information. Black History Month is coordinated by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Department of Africana Studies, and the Black History Month Committee. For more information, call us at (631) 632-9912.
