Heritage Day is an annual event organized by the African American Cultural Center and the Heritage Society. The purpose of Heritage Day is to uplift African American youth by instilling in them a sense of cultural pride and encouraging them to pursue higher education. Youth from surrounding communities unite with college students and staff to celebrate their African roots through a wide range of engaging activities.
