"Express Ya Self"
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.

This year’s main theme will be “Express Ya Self” aligning with the theme for Black History Month 2024, African Americans and the arts. The conference will dive deep into the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, and all forms of creative expression. Furthermore we will discuss how African American artists- poets, writers, visual artists, dancers, and musicians- have used their crafts for change historically and today.
