Started in 2015, the Black History Month Tribute is a collaboration between the UNC Women’s Basketball Team and the Carolina Black Caucus (CBC). Each year during the month of February the organizations recognize and celebrate Black pioneers who have paved the way for a better Carolina.This event was co-founded by former Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach Tracey Williams-Johnson and former Carolina Black Caucus Chair O.J. McGhee.

On Feb 15th, we continued this legacy by honoring the accomplishments and contributions of three trailblazers who have been game changers both on and off campus.

Congratulations to our 2024 BHM honorees
