Celebrating Black History Month at HDS

Each year, Harambee: Students of African Descent at HDS organizes a series of special events to commemorate Black History Month (BHM).

This February, Harambee again offers several opportunities for those within the Harvard community, as well as our friends and neighbors outside the University, to celebrate and support BHM at Harvard Divinity School.

Events are supported by the Offices of Admissions, Student Life, Ministry Studies, and Religious and Spiritual Life, and sponsored by the HDS Diversity Fund.
