Maya Angelou said, “The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.”
February is Black History Month in America. It’s an occasion to remember and celebrate the contributions of Black people to our country and the world. It’s also an occasion to shed light on history that’s not always mentioned or often overlooked.
Yvania Garcia-Pusateri, executive director of multicultural programs at Missouri State University, and Nia Morgan, multicultural programs graduate assistant, share more about Black History Month and how it will be celebrated on campus.
