GREEN BAY, Wis. (NBC26) — Calls for racial justice were heard far and wide this past year.Now, during this Black History Month, many of those calls are heard through Zoom.”Covid has allowed us the opportunity to reach the world,” UW-Oshkosh (UWO) African American Studies Director Dr. Alphonso Simpson said.The Northeast Wisconsin community is celebrating Black History Month with a twist this year. Nearly all of the events held at places like UW-Green Bay and UWO are on the computer.
“We stop to think about those contributions that have made our pathway better, and those contributions that have opened the door for us to have continued dialogue,” Vice Chancellor for UWGB Inclusivity Dr. Corey King said.
But that dialogue is a lot different online.
“The greatest opportunity for impact was when we gathered as a people, right?” King said. “[It was] through the marches [and] through the meaningful gatherings.”

Thanks to the facilities crew which worked diligently to clean Green Bay Campus roads after the “perfect storm” of heavy snowfall followed by extreme cold which made salting ineffective. The hillside from the Bay Settlement Entrance was especially ice-covered and difficult because of shade and overnight freezing. The entrance is now open to campus and community traffic. Thank you for slowing down on campus roads and for your patience as we host those coming to campus for vaccinations and COVID-19 Rapid Testing.
Just a note to campus that the University Union will host primary voting on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021. Low voter turnout is expected. Voters will be guided to the Visitor Lot. Please be patient as traffic is increased on Leon Bond Drive and the Kress Center parking lot because of the Prevea Vaccination Site.
The American Red Cross is hosting a blood drive at the Weidner Center, Tuesday. Feb. 16, 2021 and is in need of more donors. Please enter through the back lobby (closest to Studio Arts) as not to interfere with Rapid Testing at the front of the building. Appointments are necessary at www.redcrossblood.org, by using the Blood Donor App or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
