Black History Month 2005 to focus on "African Diaspora"

"The African Diaspora" is the theme of the 2005 Black History Month observances at Virginia Tech, which will feature talks by noted scholars, films, theatrical performances, discussions, a formal dinner, and a beauty pageant. Programs, most of which are free and open to the public, actually begin with Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemorations and continue until the end of February.
