History month features black issues and culture, but it is an opportunity for the entire community to experience something different, said Michele Van, assistant director of the office of minority affairs. "I see it as an educational adventure in a sense because the best way to dilute a lot of myths we have about each other is to experience each other." Van said. The theme for this year's celebration is "The Afro-American Experience: The International Connection." Speeches, dances, museum exhibits and films have been planned by the office of minority affairs. The idea of a celebration of the contributions of blacks in American history began in 1915, when black historian Carter G. Woodson and what is now known as the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History started Black History Week. The annual event since has grown into a monthlong celebration of Afro-American history, said Adrienne Rivers-Waribagha, spokesman for the KU Black Faculty and Staff Council. February was chosen because Frederick Douglass' and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays are during the month. BLACK HISTORY MONTH The Black Faculty and Staff Council is a campus organization that represents views of minority University employees. The council has planned a series of KJHK radio spots on American black history, Rivers-Waribagha, associate professor of journalism, said. Each of the eight short spots was written and read by KU faculty members. Friday through Sunday, Feb. 7-9: Big Eight Conference on Black Student Government, Columbia, Mo.
