Black History Month Celebration

Public Programming

February 25, 2020

Black History Month is just as vibrant today as it was when the celebration began 85 years ago. Honoring Black History Month helps us remember to continue to draw inspiration and guidance from the past. This event included networking, refreshments from Haley House, music by Kaovanny, and a presentation highlighting history and culture in honor of Black History Month.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality…. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
