In our 14th episode of Bergen Bulldog Bytes, listeners hear from the Co-Chairs of our Black History Month Committee. This college-wide committee composed of faculty, staff, and students is tasked with promoting all things Black History Month. Professor Ellis-Davis teaches in the Social Sciences Department focusing on sociology. Assistant Dean Manning works in Adjunct Administration for the college helping our adjunct faculty during their time at Bergen.

Listeners hear about these two women's journeys at Bergen, the origins of Black History Week and then Month, and the series of events slated for February 2021 for Black History Month. The theme for this year is the African American Family. We thank Maureen and Debbie for the time they took out of their busy schedules to record this episode. We hope listeners enjoy!

Bergen community members can learn more about the programs for Black History Month by visiting bergen.ed/events through the month of February! Maureen can be reached via email at [email protected] and Debbie can be reached at [email protected].
