February

Can you believe that it is already February? 

Classes have begun, we have seen snow days and 60* weather, and the 2014 Winter Olympics will begin tomorrow! With Valentine's Day right around the corner, February is often a month dedicated to love. While we don't mind talking about love (after all, we serve a great God whose very nature is love), we are excited to shift your focus a bit this month. 

For the month of February, Walking Worthy will be dedicated to the celebration of Black History Month. 

We have loved the Casual Conversations and intentional emphasis that Southeastern has devoted to diversity on our campus and in our churches. This month, we will continue the discussion with posts from students and faculty.

To whet your appetite, here is a brief introduction to Black History Month from the History Channel's history.com (click here for a video, too!):

"Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of 'Negro History Week,' the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history."

We can't wait to see what this month holds!
