TidePod Season 2, Episode 8: Black History Month Discussion with BSU
The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its sixth season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.
In the eighth episode of the second season of the TidePod, we interviewed leadership members of RM’s Black Student Union, or BSU, about Black History Month, which takes place during February. At RM, the BSU is one of the school’s most active and popular clubs. From Feb. 10-14, the club planned a spirit week consisting of spirit days, such as Motherland Monday and Flag Day Friday, to celebrate their heritage and share their pride, leading up to the second annual Black Student Union’s African Diaspora Night event. We talked to incoming BSU leaders Lydia Daniel and Janna Stewartson about what Black History Month means to them, as well as what the club is like. In addition to interviewing BSU leaders, the hosts for this episode conducted research on the history of Black History Month to familiarize audiences on the topic.
