The spirit of Black History Month is multifaceted, as witnessed by the annual series of events that take place in February. Not only do these events honor individuals, families and communities affected by the African diaspora, but they also recognize their rich cultural contributions, in order to educate, uplift and inspire current and future generations.
Festivals, live entertainment, focused activities and educational displays are featured at Black History events throughout Palm Beach County.
