NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRITZKER SCHOOL OF LAW — The Black Law Students Association (BLSA) at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law hosted its annual BLSA Week in February. The week of events was dedicated to conversations about the experience of being Black in higher education, and highlighted the need for public service to Black communities. The week’s theme, “Roots: Blackness is Not a Monolith,” focused on the diversity of Blackness. Zakiyah Dillard (JD ‘23), president of BLSA, was pleased with the week’s success. “I’m glad students, faculty, and staff showed up to learn more about Black culture. We hope that they have a better understanding about the different experiences of Black people,” she said. “Given the events that happened in the past year, we really wanted to highlight Black success and various Black cultures.” BLSA’s VP of Events, Kendall Wharton (JD ‘23), shared Dillard’s enthusiasm. “It was pleasant to see Black successful attorneys share their personal experiences and share wisdom with the future generation of Black attorneys,” she said.
