Black History Month Celebration
Event Information
About this event
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
Black History Month is just as vibrant today as it was when the celebration began 85 years ago. Honoring Black History Month helps us remember to continue to draw inspiration and guidance from the past.
Join us for networking, refreshments from Haley House, music by Kaovanny and a presentation highlighting history and culture in honor of Black History Month.

Organizer of Black History Month Celebration
The Sasaki Foundation supports design initiatives that promote equity in order to strengthen and empower local communities.
Through research, programs, and partnerships, we take an interdisciplinary approach to tackling global challenges through local action.
Using design thinking—the iterative practice of understanding, innovating, prototyping, testing, and implementing—we bridge the physical environment, community and social needs, policies and governance, and economic forces that shape communities.
