Sharing Experiences
As with all organizations, events and activities are an integral part of our mission, vision, values and goals. The Department of Antiracism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion seeks to develop events and activities that are informative and educational in every aspect. Among the events sponsored by the Department of ADEI are Conversations of Understanding and the Illinois Higher Education Equity Symposium.
A Century of Black History
A Century of Black History,” this year’s theme for celebrating Black History Month, explores the role and impact of Black history celebrations, which now shape modern society.
100 years of celebrating in 2026 is significant when you envision today’s climate and elimination efforts of diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as the removal of American history involving the Black historical experience in the name of “restoring truth and sanity to American history”. (The White House, 2025)
Today we continue toward the next 100 years to celebrate and recognize the achievements and contributions of Black Americans and their rightful place in American history.
