“Our board, which includes African Americans, liked that we have a Hispanic Heritage Celebration and wanted to do the same with having a Black Heritage Celebration. It seemed fitting to tie it into the ZimSculpt exhibit with a blending of two cultures African and African American,” says Linda Todd, Dallas Arboretum board member and Black Heritage Celebration chair. “By having this Black Heritage Celebration, those coming can be some of the first to see this amazing exhibit and tell their family and friends.”
