In the spirit of Black History Month, advisors Alexia Thomas and Dominique Asuncion asked the club what BSU means to them &#8211; hear what they had to say below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>&#8220;The BSU is a very safe community and a club where I&#8217;ve met new people, created affirmations, and much more already.<\/strong> What has stood out the most to me so far was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C2sb4_KvFFs\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wiz field trip<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/umojacommunity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Umoja<\/a> presentation. The field trip was a lot of fun and I&#8217;m so grateful that the BSU gave me the chance to see a Broadway show. The Umoja presentation was educational and inspirational, it made all of us emotional and was very moving. When joining the BSU, I didn&#8217;t exactly know what to expect, but <strong>I wanted to get more involved with Visions, my community, and learn more,<\/strong> which is exactly what was provided for me. Soon after joining the BSU, I wanted to be an elected official and became the Historian role because <strong>I would like to help my community, research events, and overall further my education.<\/strong> As a Black high school student, the Black Student Union means a lot to me and I&#8217;m very glad I had the opportunity to join. I&#8217;m super excited to attend more meetings and do more within the club.&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0<\/em><strong>Stephenie F., Historian<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Student Union is a space for students to come together and discuss the history and future of the African-A<\/span>merican community.
