Chapman University Honors Black History Month

Chapman University is celebrating the history, lives and culture of the African American community with a variety of virtual events planned in recognition of Black History Month.

A series of panel discussions, film screenings and creative showcases are among the events organized by Chapman’s Cross-Cultural Center, in collaboration with the Black Student Union, Wilkinson College, the Black Alumni Association and Fitness and Recreation Services.

Chapman encourages the entire community to participate and celebrate Black history not only in February, but all year long.

Here’s a look at some of the virtual events taking place during the month of February. For additional information curated by Chapman faculty and staff, read Resources to Better Understand Racial Dynamics and Racial Injustice.
