Black History Month 2026

RU-N with Legacy: Celebrating 100+ Years of Black Excellence

February marks Black History Month, a time to recognize and honor the contributions, achievements, and resilience of Black individuals who have shaped our society—past and present.

In celebration of this legacy, Rutgers University–Newark invites the campus community to engage in RU-N with Legacy: Celebrating 100+ Years of Black Excellence, a month-long series of student-led programs highlighting Black history, culture, creativity, leadership, and community.

Join us as we kick off Black History Month on Monday, February 2, (11:30 AM - 12:50 PM on PRCC Student St.), with food, connection, and opportunities to learn more about upcoming events throughout the month.
