Each February, the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences commemorates Black History Month, celebrating the contributions of African Americans in U.S. history. The 2009 National Black History Theme, established by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, is "Carter G. Woodson and the Origins of Multiculturalism." Join the college as we present inspiring and thought-provoking events that will explore the people, literature, music, and experiences of Black history in the United States and around the world. African World Artists Collective Exhibit Performances and Opening Reception Formed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1997, as a branch of the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, this organization's mission is to foster awareness in the community at large of the rich heritage, contributions and talents of artists of African descent, through maintaining an environment that promotes creative independence, productions of all art forms, mentoring, forums, lectures, exhibitions and educational programs.
