African American Culture Night

Hello,

The International House will be having an African-American Culture Night THIS WEDNESDAY from 6:30-8:30 in the I-House Great Room. The cost is $3 to attendand tickets will be sold at the door around 6:00 pm. This program will befeaturing a presentation on African-American History, a performance by theLove United Gospel Choir Praise Dance Team, a monologue, and a full meal.

During the month of February, the US celebrates Black History Month. Attending this culture night would be a great opportunity for students tolearn more about a culture that is readily incorporated into our everydaylives. Often times, people don't take the time to find out information oncultures that are closely intertwined for two reasons. The first reason isbecause that culture is in such close proximity, that we already feel like weknow the culture. The second is often due to the fact that the media tends toshape what we think about that culture. Unfortunately, the media doesn'tadequatelyillustrate.

Please take advantage of this fun opportunity to learn more aboutAfrican-Americans in an inviting atmosphere during this Black History Month!There is always more that you learn about a culture. Again, I would like toencourage you to come join the I-House for African-American Culture Night THIS Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 pm.

Thank you,

Brittany
