The University carries its theme, Gone But Not Forgotten, into the second week of activities for Black History Month with films, discussions and lectures honoring past black leaders and their accomplishments.

"Black History Month is a celebration and acknowledgment of a cultured people that have been forgotten yet have made so many contributions to society," said Tara Webb, vice president of the Black Caucus.

The celebration shows other cultures that blacks have roots other than being Americans, said Elizabeth Walker, chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"It is a celebration where a lot of people become more aware and conscious of themselves," she said.

The University makes this possible all year by acknowledging the achievements of blacks through different programs to promote diversity in the State College and campus communities, she said.

Walker said the significance of Black History Month should not be a celebration for just 28 days out of the year but for 365 days.
