Black History Month serves as both a celebration and a reminder that Black history is our past, present, and future in Detroit.

We celebrate the immense contributions and accomplishments of Black Detroiters and recognize the courage and resilience demonstrated through unthinkable obstacles.

Join us as we highlight Historically Black Colleges and Universities and current Black leaders in education in our newsletter and on social media throughout the month!
