  African American Heritage Festival

  Jan 2022 - Mar 2023

  Chair

  The African American Heritage Festival, formerly known as the “Block Party,” began in May of late 1970’s as a day for students to come together and celebrate the conclusion of the academic school year. With increased popularity, the “Block Party” had to relocate to various campus locations. By the 1980’s, a great percentage of students attending the events were primarily African American. Because of a heightened cultural consciousness and collective identification as a community, the “block party” evolved into a celebration of African American heritage. Students later dismissed the name “block party” and adopted “African American Heritage Festival” to adequately represent the purpose of this communal event. The African American Heritage Festival has since evolved into a weeklong celebration where students weave the event into the natural fabric of Ohio State, as well as the Columbus community. Theme Thursday is the wildcard event of the African American Heritage Festival. Theme Thursday changes year-to-year, and the chair of this event with the help of the subcommittee is empowered to design a completely new program that engages and celebrates the Ohio State, and the Columbus community focused around a theme of their choice. This year was about Unity in the Black community. This year we had the opportunity to showcase that uniqueness and connection with a panel of experts that will help to remind us of our connection, and performances that showcase the differences and similarities between the Black diaspora; and many more surprises in store! The goal is to educate and promote each part of the diaspora, and topics and issues prevalent in the Black community as a whole . We went around the world! We highlighted cultures and experiences from Continental Africa, African Americans, Caribbeans, Afro Latins, and Afro Indigenous cultures. The goal was to unite and to help bridge the gaps that separate us. Umjoa (unity) was be the focus. Voir moins
