LEADING. BUILDING. CLIMBING
The Legion of Black Collegians is the only Black Student Government in the country. We take pride in working to develop a lasting appreciation of social, moral, intellectual, and most of all, cultural values that will uplift Black students in the pursuit of academia, and heighten the cultural consciousness of all students in all aspects of student life.
We are the leading voice on campus working to eradicate ignorance and promote positive change through education, motivation and advocacy for Black students at Mizzou.
LEADING
The Legions leads and informs student organizations across the campus of University of Missouri and ensuring they remain informed, connected, and supported. Through collaboration with campus partners, communication about important university happenings, and the allocation of funding and resources, LBC works to strengthen the broader Black student community while uplifting the voices and missions of fellow organizations.
BUILDING
The Legion builds community by creating intentional spaces where Black students can connect, celebrate, and feel supported throughout the academic year. Through initiatives such as the mentorship program, the Welcome Black BBQ, Homecoming week programming that provides safe and affirming spaces for Black students to celebrate, and Black Love Week that honors and celebrates Black love in all its forms, LBC fosters belonging, unity, and long-lasting relationships within the student body.
CLIMBING
The Legion strive to climb when faced with adversity by continuously advocating for progress, equity, and representation both within the university and across the state of Missouri. By meeting with administrators, speaking on behalf of voiceless and underrepresented students, and pushing the university community to grow toward a more equitable society, LBC demonstrates resilience, determination, and a commitment to progress at every level.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”
