Black History Month and the Ignatian Family
During the month of February, the Loyola Marymount University community joins with brothers and sisters across the Ignatian family and beyond to honor Black History Month. In the coming days and weeks, we come together to celebrate, reflect, pray, and act across the United States.
The resources below include live and prerecorded presentations and discussions, opportunities for prayer and reflection, and ways to connect with the LMU community, the Ignatian family, and people of faith everywhere. How will you sing, pray, and act, this month and into the future?
