Thank you for reading our Black History Month virtual magazine. This edition is special to us and our hope is that this will bring honor to the significance this month holds.
Black History Month is a time to honor the Black community and celebrate the lives, legacies and accomplishments of Black individuals. While that is incredibly important throughout the month of February, that philosophy is needed every day of the year. In this publication, you will find articles introducing you to Black owned businesses, Black musicians, artist features, opinion pieces and more. We will also take you on a virtual journey that showcases Birmingham’s very own Black history.
Kaleidoscope stands with Black UAB students and community members. We want to share your stories and experiences with audience members. UAB’s diverse student body is filled with students of all backgrounds. While we will not all share identical life experiences, it’s imperative that we unite and care for our fellow Blazers.
Representation holds importance within UAB’s Student Media department, which is why we’re excited to unveil a new feature on our website during this semester. We will have a section of student media’s website that focuses entirely on content featuring Black students and community members. We will let you know when that becomes available, so be sure to check out our social media pages for updates.
