St. John's Celebrates Black History Month

St. John's is honoring Black History Month by offering students an unprecedented array of events at its Queens and Staten Island Campuses. The annual, month-long celebration will pay tribute to the contributions that African-Americans have made — and continue to make — to our society.

The festivities begin on Martin Luther King Day of Service Weekend (Sunday, January 15- Monday, January 16) with an overnight bus trip to Washington D.C., where students from the Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan campuses will be able to enjoy a tour of the new Martin Luther King Memorial Museum. The trip also includes community service with YSOP (youth Services Opportunities Project), and dinner for the students at D.C’s historic “Ben’s Chili Bowl”.

Our full month of Queens and Staten Island campus events combine academic lectures, spiritual reflection and celebration, dramatic performances, community service, cinema and other activities reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the African-American community.
