¹ú²ú´«Ã½

Queen ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s and Kingston community members are invited to attend the free, virtual opening ceremony event for Black Histories and Futures Month (BHFM) on Feb. 1, 2023 from 5-7:30 p.m.

Featuring several panel sessions focused on themes of recognition, justice, and development, and a moderated discussion with local Black Youth Leadership, the event will serve as the official unveiling of the month ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s calendar of events and programming set to take place across campus and Kingston throughout February (and beyond). There will also be a live performance by poet, writer, and dancer Abena Beloved Green (Abena A. Tuffour).

While February is widely known as Black History Month, the new name — BHFM — moves to recognize the breadth of past Black experiences, and looks toward the many ways Black people, communities, and allies are building a more diverse and equitable future.

If you’re a Queen ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s or Kingston community member with a BHFM event or programming you are hoping to promote on the calendar, submit your information to the for consideration.
