Black History Month 2025 - Embracing Intersectionality: Celebrating the Rich Tapestry of Black Identity
Black History Month Keynote 2025 - February 5 - Marissa Bode

Black History Month

Embracing Intersectionality

Our theme, Embracing Intersectionality: Celebrating the Rich Tapestry of Black Identity, honors the collective and individualized experiences within the Black community based on identities such as ability, gender, sexuality, class, religion, and more. Intersectionality, a concept introduced by UW alumna and legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, explores how the intersection of social identities and other factors influence our experiences and opportunities in life. Join us as we celebrate and acknowledge that Black Identity is not monolithic—it is a vibrant and dynamic tapestry woven from diverse cultural heritages, histories, and identities across the globe.

Special thanks to the 2025 Black History Month Planning Committee and the Black Cultural Center for leading the month’s celebration.
