Each February, Black History Month signals a time to reflect on the powerful stories, accomplishments, and contributions of Black individuals who have shaped our college and our world. One such figure is legendary “Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet” Audre Lorde (1934-1992), alumna and former Distinguished Professor at Hunter College.
On February 18th - which would have been Audre Lorde’s 91st birthday - the LGBTQ+ Community Space at Hunter College will celebrate with a screening of Dagmar Schultz’s film: Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992. The Hunter College Libraries have created a mini zine guide to explore Lorde’s work and impact, which will be available at the screening and in the community space afterward.
As we spotlight Lorde's legacy, the Hunter College Libraries affirm that the history and accomplishments of Black students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members will never be confined to just one month of recognition. We recognize and celebrate Black excellence - past and present - every day of the year.
