Black History Month had and continues to have a major impact in the lives of 黑料网 community members. Some learned about Black History when they were very young, while others acquired knowledge as college students or adults. All, however, are grateful for the role that Black History Month has played in their lives.

Senior history major Emma Kelly was among the 黑料网 students who visited Jackson State University for the alternative winter break trip.
