“One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.” ~Franklin A. Thomas
As we wind down Black History Month, make sure to check out Black stories and images that our arts and culture community continue to offer - and not just one month a year. Black history is American history. Black stories are American stories. Black images are American images. Black arts and culture weave throughout our community because it is our community. Find ways to celebrate all year long!

“This is the sorcery of literature. We are healed by our stories.” ~Terry Tempest Williams
As we as a nation heal from the events of the past month and the past year - from political division to racial division, from pandemic to ecological disaster - find the stories that heal. Your local arts and culture communities tell them every day, offering a source of conciliation, solace, and inspiration to rise to the challenges before us. Look throughout your community for opportunities to connect, engage, and heal through the power of music, art, and story.
