The Department of History was given a nod in the 2016 All-University Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, May 15th. Student Speaker Debra Marcus highlighted History Department Lecturer Eric Jarvis’s course on Music and Civil Rights as one of her most formative experiences during her time at BU.
Marcus remarked, “BU transformed me by offering a class on Music and Civil Rights that expanded my worldview to include entire generations of activists and songs I had never heard of or thought about.”
