A celebration of Black history

January 23, 2023 — Communications and Customer Experience
Share:
Black History Month

Fifty nine years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African Americans have made great strides and contributions to American society.

As the nation observes Black History Month, take part in events planned throughout February that celebrate the past and present contributions of African Americans. There's something for everyone whether your preference is art, music, lively discussions or technology. Recognizing that the Black Family has its origins on the African continent while extending across the globe, this year's theme is "Black Resistance,” which recognizes the effort to advocate for a dignified, self-determined life for Black citizens in the United States.

Take part in discussions, tours, live music and dance performances. 

  • Enjoy an evening with Melton Mustafa during a three-day jazz festival Feb. 23-26 at The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater
  • Join the Miami‑Dade Public Library System with a variety of programs and events, film screenings, book discussions, recommended reads and more
  • Read the calendar of events for a complete listing of local events taking place throughout our County

For more information, call the Black Affairs Advisory Board at 305-375-4606.
