Black History highlights
LIMA — Trips, soul food dinners and diversity discussions are just a few ways area universities will recognize Black History Month in the coming weeks.

A lecture on “Why We Celebrate Black History Month” will begin at 7 p.m. Feb. 14 in Dicke Forum. Clyde Pickett, director of multicultural development, will present.
The Annual Kuumba Festival, featuring poet and artist Brandon “Xplicit” Thorton, will begin at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 in the McIntosh Ballroom. Kuumba is a Swahili word meaning creativity. The event will showcase various talents, including dance, song and poetry.

A soul food dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Affinity Commons.
