honoring black history month
|
Black History Month is observed annually during the month of February to celebrate African American History, an integral part of US History. It is a month to not only commemorate the stories of the past but to celebrate the achievements of the future. Here at the BALM, we want to honor and showcase our black history with our very own Brooks Featured Artists & New Featured Businesses. Here you will learn about the historic Black Panther Party who fought against the violence directed towards black people, discover Black Owned Restaurants for you to visit right here in Chicago, find new books to read by Black Authors and many more.
