West's appearance was a highlight of Black History Month programming on campus, which also included a February 25 lecture on "Rap, Race, and Reality" by Chuck D, leader of the legendary rap group public enemy. u n i T Y W e e k tCnJ celebrated the diversity of its community through food from March 31 to April 4.
