2010 Black History Month at Laney College is an online multimedia archive of events that occurred during February 2010 at Laney College in Oakland, Calif.
The purpose of the website is to not only document the events, but to serve as a source of inspiration for future commemorations of African/Black History.
The 2010 theme for Black History Month was The History of Black Economic Empowerment, according to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
In the midst of a global financial crisis and continued poverty and economic deprivation in Black communities, a look at economic empowerment and pathways out of poverty is essential, thus the theme is timely and relevant to today.
The 2010 Black History Month at Laney College website was created by Reginald James, a Laney College student in African American Studies and Journalism. James formerly edited the Laney Tower newspaper as well as the Laney Defender–newsletter for the Laney College Black Student Union (BSU). He currently hosts the The Black Hour Internet Radio Show through the Laney College-based 9th Floor Radio.
