MCLA recognizes and celebrates Black history in February and all year, and we are grateful for the contributions of our Black students, faculty members, and colleagues. For 2021, different departments and offices on campus have developed their own events throughout February, from curated library reading lists to open mic events. Below is a list of opportunities for the MCLA community to celebrate Black History Month, share Black stories, learn about the Black experience in America, and more.
If you are interested in attending these events, please contact Arlene Theodore at Arlene.Theodore@mcla.edu for the direct link to the event.

open dialogue, two MCLA students will lead the discussion on how they navigated finding
their role in racial equality.
