This is simply rhetoric and implausible. It's sugar-coating the situation. President Leitzel, TNH recommends that you turn down any proposal that eliminates reading days. Thumbs up to the Black Student Union and the many other organizations for pulling together an impressive schedule of events for Black History Month, especially with only limited resources. There's a nice selection of speakers, music, dance, poetry and film that will convey the many aspects and influences of black culture.
All events are open to the public and most are free.
The student body should make an effort to attend the productions. No matter which ethnic or racial group you belong to, you can always benefit from different perspectives. This year, let's abolish the stigma that Black History Month events are only for black students. We are all invited to attend. We can all learn from this.
