Butte College is honoring Black History Month during the month of February. Black History Month began as a grassroots effort and has grown into a national time to honor the important contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout our nation’s history. This year’s Black History Month events are a cross-department collaboration in conjunction with students from the Butte College Black Student Union. Please join us for one of the many educational and inspiring events we have planned.
