February is Black History Month, and the UPEI Student Union invites everyone to take part in a series of celebrations throughout the month. ⁠ During Black History Month, we honour and amplify the voices of Black folks while celebrating their many achievements and contributions.⁠

We kick things off on Monday, February 2, with a Flag Raising Ceremony at 11 am in front of the Kelley Memorial Building. Later on the same day, at 12:30 pm in McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre, enjoy Flavours of Black History Month featuring free food, including rice and peas, fried plantains, jerk chicken, vegetable, beef, and chicken samosas, and mandazi, prepared by Out of Africa and Boonoonoonoos. Sorrel and pineapple juice will also be available. This event will run while supplies last.

Information about other events will be posted closer to the event dates on our social media channels: @upeisu on all platforms.
