“In the face of uncertainty, the next five years hold the potential for the Black Cultural Center at the University of Utah to flourish as a testament to resilience and community strength. Though challenges may loom, our excitement remains undeterred, fueled by the conviction that our voices, stories, and culture are indispensable to the fabric of our university. With unwavering determination, I know the center will continue to nurture and celebrate our heritage, ensuring that the legacy of the Black Cultural Center perseveres, even amidst adversity." ~Meligha Garfield

Toni Morrison once said, "if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." As a historian, I see the need for a Black history of Utah. For this, we need Black voices. I follow Morrison's advice. There is a missing piece of Utah's history that needs to be told, and that is the Black experience.
