Alexandria Cowans, president of the Black Student Union on UNG’s Gainesville campus, expressed in a press release her excitement to see a successful Black woman encouraging college students. She noted how grateful she is to reflect on Black history in February.
“It means everything to me,” Cowans stated. “Black history is American history. There are great things we did that don’t get acknowledged. It’s important because if we don’t know our history, that can hinder us, Black or white or Hispanic. It’s important that we all know our history and how connected we really are.”
