Brac University (BU) celebrated the Historic 7th March by commemorating the landmark speech of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 8 March, 2020. BU Office of Student Life organized the event at the BU Indoor Games Room (UB06, 3rd Floor). The event was organized in association with BU Adventure Club and BU Communication and Language Club.
The aim of the event was to motivate the students to know the history of the Independence of Bangladesh and inspire them to be patriotic not only through academic learning but also by connecting to their own culture, heritage & history. The program started with playing the National Anthem "Amar Sonar Bangla." A minute's silence was held as a mark of respect for the martyrs of the Liberation War. Later, the students performed patriotic songs and recited poetries.
On 7 March 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the undisputed leader of Bangali nation, had addressed his epoch-making speech of independence before a massive rally at the historic Race Course Maidan, now Suhrawardy Udyan, in Dhaka
