The work toward justice, equity and equality in the United States didn’t end with the election of a new president in 2020. 

That’s the message behind “Black Power Still Matters,” one of Stanislaus State’s biggest Black History Month programs. The third annual event will be held virtually from 5:30-8 p.m. Feb. 26. 

Male students of color looking to engage in brave spaces to talk about issues and gain friendly guidance from role models who understand their challenges need look no further than the Barbershop Talks series hosted by the Male Success Initiative (MSI) at Stanislaus State.
