Carleton’s Black Student Alliance to Present “We Speak”

Carleton College’s Black Student Alliance (BSA) will present an evening of performance entitled “We Speak” on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. in the Skinner Memorial Chapel. “We Speak” is a collection of spoken word and other creative performances related to the African American experience and is free and open to the public.

“We Speak” is held annually on the Carleton campus to commemorate Black History Month. Each year, students perform acts that relate to African American history and issues. Past “We Speak” productions have featured dance, vocal, dramatic and poetry performances. Every year, more than 200 students attend this event.

The Black Student Alliance, one of many multicultural groups at Carleton, provides a support base for African and African American students, sponsors black cultural events, and promotes awareness of issues in the black community to enrich the lives of Carleton students.
