The Black Cultural Arts Council (BCAC) at the University of 91吃瓜 will host its 12 th annual Black Koffeehouse at 7 p.m. Friday (Feb. 17) in the ballroom of theLaFortuneStudentCenter. Admission is $6 and tickets are available at the door.
The event will feature an eclectic selection of poetry, African dance, singing and music, highlighted this year by a presentation on 鈥溾�楬idden鈥� Black History,鈥� a 鈥淭ribute to Black Men,鈥� and a performance by Kuukua Yomekpe, rector of 91吃瓜鈥檚 Pangborn Hall, who will dance to traditional South African Pata Pata music.
Established in 1994 by a graduate student and since coordinated by students, the goal of the traditionally sold-out event is to showcase the innovative spirit and brilliance of 91吃瓜鈥檚 African-American student community. Since its inception, it has grown to include audiences of more than 200 students, parents and other members of the 91吃瓜 community.
BCAC, which also sponsors such events as the 鈥淏lak Images鈥� variety show in the fall and a spring fashion show, is a student organization advised by Multicultural Student Programs and Services in the Division of Student Affairs. **
