This edition of the OEI Bulletin is published in celebration of Black History Month. By exploring the influence of Black historical figures, artists, institutions, and stories, this newsletter aims to uplift the Black community at Porter’s and beyond. This bulletin will dive into the life and legacy of Black writer and activist James Baldwin, appreciate the influence of Black artists in the music and art industries, and highlight the importance of His-
torically Black Colleges and Universities. We are incredibly grateful for our guest writers, Jamiah Bennet, Katrina Council, and ashley amoabeng, for their contributions to this bulletin. Their pieces insightfully and personally explore Black identities in education, and welcome exploration of Black heritage. We hope that this bulletin allows you to both learn about and celebrate Black identities during and past Black History Month. OEI NEWSLETTER 1
