Black History Month Old Dominion University celebrates the contributions of African descendants during the February Black History Month observance. Noted Black History author Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week in 1926 to celebrate the achievements of African Americans. In 1976 this became known as Black History Month. The Office of Intercultural Relations along with student organizations and community groups host a variety of events that highlight Black culture, history and tradition. Past keynote addresses include Van Jones, CNN Contributor and President of Rebuild the Dream, and Ruby Bridges, historical icon and social justice advocate. Other Black History Month celebrations include an exhibit featuring a collection of historic documents detailing Virginia’s historic journey toward desegregation and musical performances chronicling major events in Black History.
