This February, celebrate Black History Month with the 2025 Black History Live Tour, an inspiring recognition of African American contributions to art, culture, education, politics, and more.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s statewide tour features an acclaimed living-history portrayal of Harriet Tubman by Becky Stone. In this special Chautauqua-style performance, Stone brings Harriet Tubman to life through a captivating 40-minute monologue, followed by an engaging Q&A session first in character as Tubman and then out of character as the scholar\/performer. This moving event is hosted by the Colorado Springs Pioneer Museum on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 5:30 p.m.,<\/strong> in partnership with Colorado Humanities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Register for your free ticket<\/a> today and don\u2019t miss this powerful journey through history and storytelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Advocates for Immigrant Justice: A Talk with Dr. Felecia Russell<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Join Dr. Felecia Russell, Director of the Higher Ed Immigration Portal and Adjunct Professor at California Lutheran University, for her talk \u201cAdvocates for Immigrant Justice\u201d on Monday, Feb. 17, from 12:30-2 p.m. in Gates Common Room<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Russell is a Jamaican-born, American-raised, Black woman whose research agenda explores the experiences of Black undocumented people and the intersections of race and immigration status. Her groundbreaking book released April 2024,\u00a0Amplifying Black Undocumented Student Voices in Higher Education<\/em>\u00a0focuses on understanding the experiences of undocuBlack students on college campuses. This book centers a qualitative study exploring the experiences of 15 Black undocumented students and the author\u2019s own experiences as a Black DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient, highlighting the invisibility and lack of belonging Black undocumented students face in the undocumented community and the United States at large.<\/p>\n

Through both an interpretative phenomenological approach and biographical memoir, Amplifying Black Undocumented Student Voices in Higher Education<\/em> makes meaning of the experiences of undocuBlack students, a group who do not often see themselves being represented in the immigrant narrative. It argues that without visibility, undocuBlack students are rarely the beneficiaries of advocacy and become targets of overcriminalization. The stories told in the book examine the intersection of race and identity in determining positioning within society, with the goal of contributing awareness and promoting more inclusive practices among higher education communities. Access and success within higher education for undocumented students cannot be achieved unless those implementing policies understand the full context of the community. This text offers an important new perspective for faculty and administrators, policymakers, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as general readers with an interest in Black and immigrant narratives and the undocumented experience as an academic subject.<\/p>\n

Lunch from Dainty’s Jamaican Kitchen will be provided. <\/strong>Please register in advance<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
