Black History Month:
The celebration originally began as "Negro History Week" created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. It became an offical month-long celebration in 1976.
Sixty years ago today, the Greensboro Four stood up to injustice by sitting down at a lunch counter. Our journey is full of such stories; of acts of patriotic protest that challenge this country we love to live up to our highest ideals, however long it takes. #BlackHistoryMonth
Safe to say BSU had a great time @LincolnUofPA on Monday. For members who couldn't come, we missed you ♡.
Fun fact:
Founded as The Ashmun Institute, Lincoln University, chartered in 1854, becoming the U.S.' first degree-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU).
Players and coaches, keep your heads up and be proud of your accomplishments and keep building in every experience! #trusttheplan#believeinyourbrothers
