African American History Month Description
In 1986, the US Congress passed legislation that designated February as African American History Month, with three primary purposes: (1) raise awareness of African American history (2), acknowledge contributions of African Americans to the American story; and (3), stimulate interest in learning and apply lessons from African American history for all Americans. For the past six years, USCB has hosted a comprehensive series of events for our campus and Beaufort community members in celebration of African American History Month.
