Black History Month

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson laid the groundwork for Black History Month by establishing the first Negro History Week, an event dedicated to celebrating the history, politics, and culture of Black people.

Our theme for Black History Month 2025 is “Art, History, and Resistance.” This year’s theme is a powerful exploration of how Black creativity and resilience have shaped history and continue to inspire movements for justice and equality. Through a series of engaging events, we’ll honor the legacy of Black artists, activists, and innovators who have used their voices, talents, and actions to resist oppression and reimagine a better world. Join us throughout the month to honor the past, celebrate the present, and imagine the future. This year is more than a celebration—it’s a call to continue the legacy of resistance through art, history, and action. Along with thought-provoking programming, our Black History Month events will include celebrations such as concerts, ’Sco nights, Soul Session, and the Annual Ball. Regardless of your background and interests, there will be many opportunities to commemorate this special time of the year!

Check back here for updates throughout the month.
