The Black Christian Union (BCU) presented its annual night of celebration filled with musical selections, a display of flags, cultural foods and an art gallery featuring artwork from black students.
Students were greeted with the gallery and were given the choice between a t-shirt, shea butter or coconut oil. After being seated, the attendees were invited to food that showcased many facets of the black diaspora.
The event itself was a play featuring psychology Professor Ruth Williams and junior Margoski Saintinus in the lead roles. It was interwoven with singing, a step performance and spoken word.
The night also had parade of students dressed as famous black people, “Kings and Queens,” from history including figures such as Moses, Serena Williams and Barack Obama.
The night ended with a poem, a student led chant and students coming down to the stage for a prayer of unity and understanding.
