The
Sacramento Black Art of Dance (S/BAD) will perform in “A Tribute
to African American Choreographer Katherine Dunham,” one of many
University events commemorating Black History Month.
The
Sacramento State Multi-Cultural Center and the Student Activities Office are
presenting more than 30 events in celebration of Black History Month. They have
selected programs that honor significant historical events as well as those
that address current political and social movements.
“It is with great
pleasure that we participate in events that are designed to reach a wide array
of audiences,” says Analia Mendez, interim director of the Multi-Cultural
Center. “We invite the Sacramento State campus community to participate.”
Events include
performances, lectures, films and discussions. Featured among these are the
Black Woman to Woman Forum, a forum where professional women come together to
discuss work, family, health issues and community, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m., and the
Good, Bad and the Ugly Comedy Tour, a show featuring Leo Flowers, Mo Mandel,
and Mike E. Wynfield from the SF Comedy Competition, Feb. 28, at noon and 2
