The Black Student Movement will host a variety of programs that center on African-American cultural pride.
Events began Friday with a Black History Month kick-off in the Pit where students were given a promotional calendar.

Davis said most of the planning for the movement’s events was done in the fall semester.“There are all these different programs during February, and we want students to be able to access them and attend and have a great time,” she said.
