Cultural Heritage Month Celebrations

During the academic year, the Multicultural Resource Center at Amherst College celebrates the histories and legacies of racially marginalized identities. Cultural Heritage Months are an opportunity for us to highlight and honor the experiences of people of color in the United States. During these months, we center the experiences of Black, Indeginous, and People of Color (BIPOC) from an intersectional lens and encourage all who are part of the Amherst College community to engage in celebration all year round.
