This event will include the Gospel ensemble performing about 8 songs in Mccosh 10 to anyone who is willing to listen (not ticketed). There will be moments in between those songs of scriptures, testimonies, and/or prayer. We will invite audience members to sing along with us and learn some of the songs they may not know. Afterwards, we will have a soul-food reception dinner for our guests to indulge in to have that feeling of a Sunday in a Black household -- going to church and then eating Sunday dinner with family. Open to all.

Global Haiti: The International Gang Problem is an event centered on discussing the historic and current violence that has been perpetuated against Haiti for the past century. The event seeks to address the current violence and turmoil in Haiti by situating the most recent round of violence in the context of the complex history of Haiti's exploitation. We will start from the history of the Haitian Revolution, its forced reparations to France, Pan-Africanist movements in the United States alongside the struggle of the Haitians under various foreign interventions, and finally the geopolitical landscape of Haiti today to contextualize the current gang problem. In the end encouraging students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful dialogue about what Haiti’s story and current status represents. Open to all.
As a part of Black History Month, we will be providing limited tickets to students, staff, or faculty who are interested in attending this program held at Rutgers University.

create more opportunity for students to meet all campus stakeholders, programmers, and funders to help with more collaboration among students, staff, and faculty for co-created programming
Additionally, because of the busy schedules of students, staff, and faculty, we wanted to have a set time for everyone to connect at one time, brainstorm, and co-plan for some of the next academic year
We ask that attendees be prepared by sending a member or member/s of your organization to the event. This will be an active planning event. This is meant to help create more collective, intentional, collaborative, and responsible programming that promotes community building, connection making, and highlights important issues while also decreasing over-saturation and duplication of programming across campus.

This dynamic event aims to highlight the rich cultural heritage of Haiti through kompa--a vibrant and expressive dance form that reflects the island's history and spirit, and a significant element of Caribbean cultural identity. Known for its rhythmic complexity, melodic richness, and dynamic partner dance sequences, Kompa has served as both a source of artistic expression and a unifying cultural force within the Haitian community and beyond.
Open to the entire Princeton community, the workshop will foster inclusivity and cultural appreciation while offering participants a hands-on experience of Haitian tradition. To enhance the experience, we will provide authentic Haitian finger foods and treats, creating a warm and welcoming environment for cultural exchange and connection.

Dr. Kyle T. Mays (Saginaw Chippewa), is a Professor of African American Studies, American Indian Studies, and History at UCLA. He is a transdisciplinary scholar of urban history and studies, Afro-Indigenous Studies, and contemporary popular culture. He is the author of Hip Hop Beats, Indigenous Rhymes: Modernity and Hip Hop in Indigenous North America. His latest book titled, Rethinking the Red Power Movement (2024) examines Red Power ideology with a focus on its many forms of solidarity with African Americans, the role of gender in shaping the movement, its international expansion, and its current meaning in contemporary activism.
The Red Power Movement is often considered the apex of Indigenous activism in the twentieth century. This study makes the case that Red Power never died—and neither did Indigenous activism. Instead, it shows how Indigenous peoples found many ways to push forward Indigenous sovereignty and continue to call on the United States to value Indigenous possibilities for justice, freedom, and power.
