Hello Everyone,

February is Black History Month! Attached you’ll find the calendar of events put together by student organizations, departments, and the surrounding community. Corresponding flyers for some of the events are also included that provide more information. This year's calendar is full of both virtual and in-person opportunities for learning, celebration, and community. Because of the timing of when we collected this information, some events may be missing! For a more up-to-date list of events, please check GetInvolved or the WSU Black History Month events calendar.

Wayne State University rests on Waawiyaataanong, also referred to as Detroit, the ancestral and contemporary homeland of the Three Fires Confederacy. These sovereign lands were granted by the Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi, and Wyandot nations, in 1807, through the Treaty of Detroit. Wayne State University affirms Indigenous sovereignty and honors all tribes with a connection to Detroit. With our Native neighbors, WSU can advance educational equity and promote a better future for the earth and all people.
