Black History Month Durags and Bonnets | Friday, February 2 | All Day | The idea generated from the desire to express self-care and self-love to Black men and women throughout the university. In the '90s and early 2000s, the Durag became a fashion statement of Black pride, worn by rappers like 50 Cent and basketball players like Allen Iverson. Although its trend has worn off, it is now re-emerging as an act of self-love. In that vein of reclamation, various colleges are celebrating Durag and Bonnet Day.
