Black History Month
Each year in January, Roanoke College joins in the national observance of the birth and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose name has become synonymous with engendering change through nonviolent means.
This celebration continues throughout February, the month nationally designated to recognize the role of Black Americans in U.S. history. College events and programs have included special guest speakers, a Black History Month vigil ceremony, service learning activities, panel discussions, and more.
