Take Back the Night is an international event and nonprofit organization. At Penn, the movement takes the form of a rally, a march across campus and a speak-out for survivors.

For three weeks now, Penn has joined communities across the country to commemorate Black History Month. In light of the annual, month-long observance, The Daily Pennsylvanian dug into the University's archives to present a brief history of black students, faculty, and staff at Penn.
At the second installment of the march, various protestors took their slogans, stories, and appeals off the internet and onto printed signs.
