Washburn University's Black History Month Banquet 2026

The story of Black History Month is filled with the voices of those yearning to be heard, those citizens who helped build our country but were often discounted because of the color of their skin. Voices like Carter G. Woodson who has been coined the "father of Black History Month." This Harvard educated historian fought to bring us the stories of all Americans, an endeavor we continue today with the events we hold throughout Black History Month and beyond.

Join the Washburn University Black Student Union at a banquet to celebrate Black History Month. The theme this year is "Rhythm of our Roots." Union High Steppers will provide entertainment and Dr. Beryl New will provide the keynote address. This event is free for Washburn students, faculty and staff, and $10 for community members. Dinner will be served.
