February is Black History Month, so several Mississippi State University organizations, such as the Student Association and the Holmes Cultural Diversity Center, have planned and orchestrated different events and exhibitions in order to remember and illuminate both the struggles and accomplishments of Black people in America. These events, targeted at aiding Black students and telling stories of their histories, have occurred on campus or online almost everyday of the month. The month begins with the "28 Days of Service" challenge hosted by the African American Studies program. These projects are geared toward serving the community through storytelling, visuals, conferences and more.
