Friend,
Black History Month is here - and we have something special to
share with you to help celebrate and commemorate this important time
of year.
Although we are unable to gather in person, the SPLC's Black
Affinity Group has prepared a special calendar of virtual events and
resources throughout Black History Month. These resources are shared
internally with SPLC staff, and we invite you to join us virtually for
a variety of events that convey Black history, achievements and
perseverance in many contexts.
It's not uncommon for education to focus on slavery, segregation
and other forms of oppression during Black History Month. However, our
calendar uses a wider lens to explore Black excellence in all facets
of life. We hope that you see not only the resilience of Black
culture across time, space and hardship, but also the connectedness
between Black communities and all of our communities and cultures.
Check out the calendar below to learn more about the events we are
uplifting this Black History Month. Some of the events require RSVPs.
Others can be streamed at your convenience, anytime.
