Today kicks off the beginning of Black History Month, and Prude is getting the word out on what’s going on around the city. Program Director Jocelyn Stevens tells CHSJ news, one of the main goals for this year is raising awareness of race issues among young people. Stevens says the efforts by Prude go on after Black History Month, specficially teaching young people about the cultures of immigrants. Stevens says culture shock is a major concern for newly immigrated residents, and it’s her groups job to try and ease the transition. Prude will also be hosting an African Culture exhibit at UNBSJ on February 25th.
