Observance Black History Month goes by the wayside Since it doesn't seem like anybody else is gonna announce it for awhile, I'd like to be the first to wish you a happy Black History Month. Yeah, it already started ... two days ago. I know, I know, it may not look like Black History Month. No flags or signs or banners around campus. No sandwich board biographies in the SUB declaring the significance African Americans have had in this country's history. No black student, faculty, or administration members holding forums. All in all, it kinda started with a whimper instead of a bang if you ask me, although we're assured great things are TBA. So far the diversity center has managed to gather up-for this momen tous occasion a speaker from the Yakama Nation, and a professor from the University of Washington, who happens to be Asian, to speak. Now normally I wouldn't have a problem with the race of the individuals speaking, but it kind of irks me that we're having two non-black people speak for black history month. I understand talking about the history of racism, but are we going to talk about the positive contributions African Americans have made too, or just dwell on the ugly past? I know the diversity center has been a little busy lately, what with the big move and a new director coming on in the beginning of the quarter, but c' mon guys this is kind or ridiculous. Right now the only events scheduled are still being listed as "tentative"-how much more February does it have to get lo nail something down? Even if it wasn't the most spectacular event ever, at least Campus Life came up with a meaningful way to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. 's birthday with some dignity. The Diversity Education Center wasn't able to come up with any thing, but no one did. We've got a number of organizations and depart ments all over campus that put on fabulous events all the time. But no one bothered to get their a~ts together and create any kind of Black Meetings History Month celebration. It seems a little odd that no one noticed ••• Black History Month (AKA February) was sneaking up on us so fast_. I can't imagine what visitors like presidential finalist Suzanne Shipley think or our university when she stepped onto campus the first day of black history month to see a big fat nothing for celebration.
