African-American Heritage Month
The University of Alabama Crossroads Community Center invites the campus and community to participate in the observance of African-American Heritage Month events throughout February.
The purpose of AAHM is to affirm, recognize and appreciate the heritage, struggles, achievements, progress and diversity of African-Americans, says Brice Miller, assistant director of Crossroads Community Center at UA.
The 83rd celebration of AAHM is an opportunity for the entire community to appreciate the contributions of African-Americans while also celebrating a theme of unity, Miller notes. During this time, the community reflects on the many ways African-Americans have shaped the nation's history.
