Sankofa

Martin Luther King Jr. Planning Committee

Schaeffer Theatre

Sankofa is the Black Student Union's annual cultural showcase made up of members of the African diaspora. As a decade-long tradition at Bates, Sankofa comes from the Akan word for return— embodying remembrance, memory, and community in its use. Honoring this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Day theme of "Arts and Activism", Sankofa aims to be a reflection on Black grief, Black resistance, and most importantly Black joy through a string of poems, dances, speeches and songs. All members of the greater Bates community are welcomed to help us embody the beauty of Black joy, and hold this space of resistance with us.
