February is Black History Month

2020 marks the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) which gave black men the right to vote after the Civil War. In keeping with this anniversary, this year’s theme for Black History Month is African Americans and the Vote. Be on the look out for future blog posts and displays on this important theme.

UC College of Law & Campus Events Celebrating Black History Month

All Month

  • UC Libraries will profile African American leaders of the fight for civil and voting rights. Beginning with Sojourner Truth, former slave and abolitionist, and concluding with contemporaries Diane Nash, a key player in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Cincinnati’s Marian Spencer, a champion for Civil Rights both locally and nationally. The exhibit spans history into current times.
  • All month long, UC’s Department of Athletics will run a social media campaign where student-athletes identify and honor black athletes who have inspired them. Tune in throughout February to UC Athletics Twitter @GoBEARCATS and Facebook @GoBearcats.
