Black History Month Presentation at NMU

Northern Michigan University's Black Student Union will host a "Why Black History Month?" presentation by Political Science Professor Carter Wilson at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, in Jamrich 1319. Drawing from the works of a long list of scholars-from WEB DuBois and Toni Morrison to Carter G. Woodson and Basil Davidson-Wilson will demonstrate that neither world or American history can be understood without an understanding of the roles and contributions of Africans and African Americans.

Wilson was the 2024 recipient of the Stephen Young & Tricia Kinley Distinguished Faculty Award, NMU's top honor for significant professional contributions to teaching, scholarship and service. His interests include public policy, Civil Rights policy, economic policy and public administration.

This Black History Month presentation is free and open to the public.
