Program Description
Event Details
Every February, people across the nation come together for events and activities to celebrate Black History Month. It’s a time for us to continue our collective journey of honoring and deepening our knowledge of the history and contributions of Black Americans and people of African descent. The theme for Black History Month 2021 is The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity and is set every year by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History®, an organization founded in 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the famed African American historian known as the “Father of Black History.” This Coppell Library's Black History Month virtual event aligns with the theme, spanning the various areas from business, education, arts, civics, technology, entertainment, sports, and more! Join us for uplifting and entertaining musical and vocal performances, storytelling, and a showcase of Coppell community members' achievements and talents that highlight the history, diversity and achievements of our local Black community and the Black community nationwide.
