Black History Month is observed every February to honor the achievements of the Black Community. Beyond learning about the historic struggles and successes of this community it’s also a time to celebrate Black culture through the exploration of art, music, food, and more. While these contributions should be acknowledge and celebrated all everyday, Black History Month provides a time to renew your focus on learning more about and getting more involved with the Black community in your area. We’ve complied a list of opportunities in the Detroit Metro area to help get you started celebrating this Black History Month.
