In recognition of Black History Month, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is joining communities across the nation to honor and celebrate the history and accomplishments of African Americans throughout February.<\/p>\n
“It’s important to celebrate Black History Month because it helps us to know that all of our history isn’t painful,” Dr. Gabriel Warren, assistant professor of business administration, said. “We get a chance to highlight the amazing people who have helped to move our country forward, which inspires future generations to recognize that they too are making Black history by the way they live their lives.”<\/p>\n
Additionally, Bemidji State’s Black Student Union will host a series of student programs starting Feb. 2 with the launch of a podcast by student-creator and host Michael Bailey Jr., a marketing communication major.<\/p>\n
The sophomore from Eden Prairie, Minn., was inspired to start the Black Student Union podcast series by the “I Am Athlete” podcast hosted by retired NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall and explores the challenges black athletes face. Bailey said his podcast will focus on how COVID-19 has affected students, the Black Lives Matter movement and current events. Episodes will be released weekly.<\/p>\n
