Black history remembrance at CSUS
Americans have recognized black history
annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week"
and now every February is celebrated as "Black History
Month." Once again, California State University, Sacramento
has planned a series of festivities to commemorate the month-long
event.
 Highlights
include a lecture by distinguished journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault
at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 7 in the University Union Ballroom. Hunter-Gault
is CNN African bureau chief and the winner of many news awards
including the Peabody Award, the highest honor given in broadcast
journalism.
Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Hunter-Gault is responsible
for covering news events for CNN throughout the African continent.
Prior to her current assignment, she was the first female
anchor for the "MacNeil/Lehrer Report" and she has
worked for National Public Radio, PBS and the New York Times.
Hunter-Gault is also the author of a best-selling memoir,
In My Place, which includes her historic role as one of the
first black students to desegregate the University of Georgia
in 1961. Tickets for this event are $10 for general admission
and $5 for CSUS students.
The student organization AFRICA, Africans for Re-education,
