THE Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhatten, Queens and Staten Island will all be honouring African-American history in New York City as part of February’s Black History Month.
Commemorating key moments, movements and figures in time, organizations across the five boroughs will host events, including discussions, museum and cultural tours, live entertainment and interactive kid-friendly activities.
"African-American history has shaped New York City’s history. This is where the Harlem Renaissance challenged cultural norms, hip-hop music was born and Jackie Robinson broke down baseball’s color barrier,” said Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company. “We invite New Yorkers and visitors to honor this history by engaging in informative events across the five boroughs."
