Marquis Harrison '07, president of the Black Students' Union, says the theme for this year's programming is taken from the Langston Hughes poem "I, Too, Sing America." "This is important to us because we want students, faculty, and staff to know that black history is American history. The contributions of black Americans have been highly important to the development of this nation and world," says Harrison.
