NORRISTOWN â The pandemic has ensured that the Montgomery County Health and Human Services approach to Black History Month would be decidedly different for 2021.
Instead of the customary day of speakers and honorees, the agency is presenting weekly virtual forums on the theme âThe Black Family,â through moderated interactive discussions with notable county authorities.
âThe Montgomery County Commissioners and our director of Health and Human Services thought that we shouldnât allow a year to go by without having anything for Black History Month, so the committee came up with a way that we could do it virtually,â noted administrative assistant Lora Gonzalez.
