Moving ForWARD
Honoring Our Legacy, Shaping Our Future
Ebony Weekend 2026 marks a monumental milestone — a century of celebrating Black History Month. This year’s theme, Moving ForWARD, is not just about looking back; it’s about defining what comes next.
We honor the pioneers who shaped our past while stepping confidently into the future they dreamed of. Moving ForWARD captures the energy, vision, and innovation that continue to drive Black excellence on campus and beyond. It’s a call to action — to keep building, creating, and leading the next 100 years of progress.
This weekend celebrates how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown, and how powerful we remain when we move forward together.

Ebony Weekend is an annual conference hosted by the Black Student Union of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. We aim celebrate the generations in the Black community and to bridge the gap between them through workshops, entertainment, social interaction, inspiring lectures, and substantial dialogue focusing on solutions to the common problems that plague the Black community. We also embrace the multi-generational perspectives of all participants to find a united front.
