On today’s Bring It On!, hosts, Clarence Boone and Liz Micthell, put the spotlight on Black History Month in Bloomington, IN. Here in Bloomington, the Black History Month theme for this year, “Blacks in Cinema,” celebrates the profound impact 
and enduring contributions of Black individuals in the world of film. Throughout history, Black filmmakers, actors, and storytellers have played pivotal roles in shaping the cinematic landscape, enriching it with diverse narratives and perspectives. This theme invites reflection on the resilience, creativity, and transformative power of Black voices within the realm of cinema.
On the Indiana University campus, the theme for this year’s celebration is “For the Culture,” which symbolizes the contributions of Black people from around the world and here at Indiana University. The Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center (NMBCC) chose this theme as a way to honor and celebrate the culture, beauty, creativity, intellect, and resilience of Black people everywhere. As one of the oldest Black culture centers in the nation, the NMBCC is proud to celebrate 50 years of power, progress, and promise.
Joining us this evening to discuss celebratory activities surrounding Black History Month in the City of Bloomington and on the Indiana University Bloomington campus are Bring It On! guests, Shatoyia Moss, Director of Safe and Civil Cities for the City of Bloomington, Dr. Gloria Howell, Director of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center on the Indiana University Bloomington campus, and William Lawrence, Director of the Black Film Center & Archives also on the IUB campus.
