Montclair State University’s Black Student Union hosted its “Welcome to the Block Party” on Saturday, Sept. 21, a spirited celebration of Black culture.
Students decorated the Student Center Quad with flags, symbolizing cultural pride as the area was loud with soulful classic R&B hits, reggae, classic cookout dances and energetic hip-hop. The party featured creative and expressive fashion. Many students sang and danced in harmony as a mix of cultures was celebrated. The event created a fun space for Black students on campus to celebrate their culture and enjoy great food.
