UConn Learning Communities presents the Black History Month (BHM) Exit Initiative on February 21-25! During this week, UConn Learning Communities will post challenges and student/faculty features everyday on their Instagram that promote activism and celebration of the black community both on and off UConn's campus.
The mission of the Black History Month Exit Initiative is to remove the limits of our celebrations to being within national holidays and governmentally recognized observances. February 21-25 is the final week of Black History Month, a month-long celebration dedicated to understanding, spotlighting, elevating, and supporting Black histories and achievements. During the last week, the conversations dwindle and the major BHM events come to a close. By introducing actions into our everyday lives with this content, like eating at Black-owned restaurants or diversifying our Instagram feeds, the UConn community will learn ways to become year-round activists.
We hope you will help us build student/faculty-contributed content for this initiative by filling out this form regardless of how you identify: https://forms.gle/LsYHEpxSfNEwKJ4U9
