Black History Month 2024 Header

Celebrating Black History Month

Black History Month is a time to reflect, celebrate, and honor the legacies of barrier-breakers, changemakers, and culture shapers. Black history and Black culture is ingrained in the fabric of our society through beauty, art, music, literature, innovation, sports and so much more. We are celebrating the beauty, strength, and resilience that define Black History and the influences of a culture that enriches us all.

Thank you to everyone who the joined the month-long celebration of Black excellence and black achievement by attending our Celebration of Black History, HBCU to the Pros, donating to nonprofit partners, stopping by restaurant takeovers and so much more! Take a look back at our celebrations, support local Black-owned businesses and stay in the loop to be the first to know about our plans for next February.
