February 2022
UMSL recognizes that Black History is part of each and every month but as a campus, we take great pride and privilege in establishing events specific to Black History throughout the month of February each year. From highlighting black historical figures and movements to emphasizing current experiences within the Black community, departments and offices all over campus develop programs and events for students, staff and faculty.
This year's Black History Month theme mirrored the national theme: Black Health and Wellness. The Black History Month Planning Committee curated a schedule of over 15 different events for the entire Triton community to engage with. Below, we highlight a few of the events from the 2022 celebrations!
Check back in late 2022 for the Black History Month Planning Committee Application if you are interested in sponsoring and hosting a Black History Month program for 2023!
Due to COVID-19, the Black History Month kickoff looked a little different this year. Students, staff and faculty were invited to enjoy the November 2021 released, King Richard, starring Will Smith and telling the story of Venus and Serena Williams and their father, Richard Williams.
A lecture-discussion type event discussing Black people's long, powerful, and difficult history in horror films and media in general. Featuring UMSL faculty as the lecturer!

In the second installment of the Sports Are Universal series, the 3-on-3 Basketball Invitational brings together all Tritons around the sport of basketball and to highlight black athletes and black history in sports.
This year, Soul Food Celebration served as the Black History Month Capstone event. It featured a menu of fried chicken, fried catfish, macaroni & cheese, spaghetti, collard greens, corn bread, and peach cobbler. The power and history of soul food was highlighted and fun music by Black artists and musicians were featured all afternoon long.
