Celebrating Black History Month

February 1, 2021 @ 1:00 PM-2:00 PMEST

BLACK HISTORY MONTH SERIES (VIRTUAL)

Presented by The Mariners’ Interpretation Department

Come celebrate online with The Mariners’ Museum and Park for the month of February as it recognizes Africa and its people and the key role they played in maritime trade and global expansion for centuries.

About the presentation:
For centuries, Africa and its people have played a key role in maritime trade and global expansion. Yet much of Black history has been told from a lens of oppression and the hardships Black people have had to overcome. This month, the Museum will honor and pay tribute to the generations of Blacks, Africans, and African Americans who have struggled, and reveal more about who they are and the places from which they came.

从个人隐藏的声音现在贝ng heard to the ancient kingdoms that populated the African continent, Black and African history is intertwined with incredible stories that illustrate both adversity and diversity. Journey with the Museum and its Interpretation Department this month (and beyond) as we present a variety of virtual programs focusing on the rich history and culture of Blacks, Africans, and African Americans who helped to shape the world.

Viewers are welcome to send comments or questions to staff in the Interpretation Department, which they will answer following the presentation.
