February is Black History Month, celebrating the achievements and history of African-Americans. Students from CSUMB's Black Students Union (BSU) host a number of events, starting with a Black History Rally. Next, a multi-media monologue, "Killing in Chattow, Alabama," presented by Carl Ray, is a chilling re-telling of his father's murder.

Other activities include a weekly event that challenges students' knowledge of Black history, a "Let's Groove Tonight" '70s Dance, a BSU Talent Show, and a performance by the Oriki Theater entitled Sharing Africa, where attendees learn about the history, culture, and present state of West Africa. A festive Black History Banquet caps the month's events.
