Eastfield is celebrating Black History Month with a number of events throughout February.
The Dallas Black Dance Theatre performed on campus Feb. 3, and a collection of family quilts are on display in the library through Feb. 25.
Faculty members will give presentations on affirmative action, speeches of the civil rights era, African-American art and “white privilege.”
As part of the foreign film series, the college is showing “Emmanuel’s Gift,” a 2005 documentary about the journey of athlete and activist Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah as he travels across Ghana to promote human rights awareness. The screening will be at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 18 in C-237-A.
