The University of North Dakota Multicultural Student Services will present a series of educational, social and entertainment events  in February that engage students and the greater Grand Forks community in the culture and perspectives of the black community.  The events are in celebration of February being "Black History Month," and they are free and open to the public.

Feb. 23, Under the Baobab Tree, 5-7 p.m., Era Bell Thompson Multicultural Center – The Baobab is a tree in Africa that grows strong and tall. Valued for the shade and protection it provides, the tree is often a location for learning, listening and improvement. Forming a circle around the Baobab fosters understanding and creates dialogue, the purpose of this event.
