Dramatic performances, music, movies and book displays are all part of the events planned for Black History Month at the University of Cincinnati. Many of the events are presented by UC’s student organizations and are free and open to the public.
Last fall, UC’s African American Cultural and Resource Center (AACRC) celebrated 20 years on campus. The center supports the mission of the university by recruiting, retaining and encouraging the success of students of color at UC.
As part of Black History Month, the AACRC kicks off its 13th annual Kuamka Week on Jan. 28. Kuamka is Swahili for “in the beginning.” This year’s theme for Kuamka Week is “Live Out Loud.”
Here’s the schedule for Kuamka Week as well as other Black History Month events at UC:
UC Libraries reveal the papers of Cincinnati’s first African-American mayor, a UC alumnus. Available for research and study in the Archives and Rare Books Library, the Theodore Moody Berry Papers provide an historical record of civil rights and community politics during the 20th century, including issues surrounding Cincinnati politics and history, housing and fair treatment for the poor and neighborhood activism. This history covers Berry’s involvement in Cincinnati City Council, the NAACP and the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity. They also include civic activism records, his personal papers and biographical material.
Jan. 30-March 4
UC Bookstores Display, Level 3, Tangeman University Center – The display will feature 16 titles including “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” “Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America,” “Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” “What Color is My Word” and “Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African-Americans.”

Lecture description: Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech galvanized the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans regardless of race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, age, class or handicap. In this dream, the essence of the American creed was reaffirmed by requiring that we judge a person “by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.” But as the guns wielded by those who hate continue to kill, as unrest continues to produce chaos in the Middle East, as children slaves are being sold in Darfur, as the poor continue to be over represented in prisons and under represented in our college classrooms, as women continue to be denied equal pay and rights, and as those who look different from ourselves are dismissed, ridiculed and denied basic freedoms, then we must question just how far we have come toward the realization of the dream.
