Lindenwood’s Black Student Union is planning to host multiple events for students to celebrate Black History Month as February continues.

The celebration of Black History Month began back in 1976 when President Gerald Ford described it as a chance to “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans,” according to AS.com.
