We Speak
1989 - 2017
As part of Black History Month celebrations, the Black Dramatic Arts Group (BDAG) would organize “We Speak” an annual performance of spoken word testimonies and skits that were written, produced, and acted by Carleton Students. The event was often held in February to coincide with Black History Month celebrations. This annual tradition began in 1989 and continued through the late 2010s, with the Black Student Alliance taking over coordinating the later years of the event.
