Black History Month is a month set aside to learn, honor, and celebrate the achievements of black men and women throughout history. Since its inception, Black History Month has always been celebrated in February.

The Goodwin College Library Advocacy Committee is seeking students and faculty who would like to "Express Yourself" and celebrate the achievements of black men and women throughout history. Students and faculty members can "Express Yourself" through classical readings, poems, rap, song or other expressions that celebrate the achievements of black men and women either historically or now. Each participant who desires to "Express Yourself" will be scheduled for a 10 minute timeslot during the month of February.

If you are interested in "Express Yourself" during Black History Month please sign up in the Library at the Circulation Desk by 1/31/11. If you have any questions, please call Ed at 860.727.6912.
