Celebrating Black Excellence event planned in Milwaukie January 27 2021
Feb. 3 program to feature North Clackamas School Board Chair Libra Forde, new City Councilor Desi Nicodemus.
Ledding Library and Milwaukie History Society have partnered on a 6:30 p.m. program set for Wednesday, Feb. 3, titled Celebrating Black Excellence.
Greg Frank Hemer of the Historical Society said organizers decided to change the title of their annual Black History Month program to Celebrating Black Excellence in an effort to tie together historical trends and increase the impact of our shared history. History should enhance all in a timeline, and calling out a designated month segregates our history, Hemer said.
