Project Overviews

Black History Month

Mississippi State's observance of Black History Month culminates with encouragement for everyone to continue the conversations that have started. Continue the focus on inclusion and diversity to ultimately experience a true appreciation for cultural differences within every community. Acknowledge the complexity of journeys traveled by those we love while also recognizing achieving trailblazers from all walks of life beyond just one month alone. Here, a few of our campus leaders discuss Black history, courageous leaders, and the importance of representation.
