The first event celebrating Black History Month at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro will take place on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 if weather permits. The documentary Good Hair will be presented and discussed. Good Hair explores African-American hair styles and was somewhat controversial so it should be very interesting. This production will begin at 6:00 pm in the Student Union Mockingbird Room.
The second event celebrating Black History Month at ASU in Jonesboro, Arkansas is hosting in honor of Black History Month is the visitation of a popular African-American poet. World renowned poet Nikki Giovanni , winner of the 1998 NAACP Image Award for Literature, will hold a special presentation on Thursday, February 11, 2010 in the Reng Student Services Center at the Student Union's Centennial Ballroom.

A "Tunnel of Oppression" will be held at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7 pm in the Student Union Centennial Ballroom. This program is designed to show what oppression and the effects of oppression have had in community and society. I personally look forward to this event and hope the weather permits it.
