2025 Black History Celebration - Newburgh, NY

Come join us in Newburgh, NY for a vibrant celebration of Black history! This in-person event will feature music, dance, art, and more to honor the rich contributions of Black culture. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with the community and celebrate diversity. Mark your calendars for a day filled with joy, education, and unity.

As we embark on the 'Newburgh Sankofa Project', we embark on a journey to celebrate this remarkable narrative, honoring the rich history of Newburgh as we celebrate Black joy, contributions, and triumphs that have shaped our City and community.

At the heart of this project lies the concept of Sankofa, an Adinkra symbol from the Akan people of Ghana, symbolizing the importance of looking back to move forward. As we delve into the chronicles of history, we are confronted with the stark realities of slavery, segregation, and systemic oppression that have marred the path of Black American progress. However, intertwined with these struggles from the heart of Newburgh, are tales of unbreakable spirits, unwavering resolve, and extraordinary achievements.

Join us in celebrating our past, present, and future from a historical perspective as we embrace the concept of Sankofa, symbolizing the importance of looking back to move forward.

Join us as we break bread together, and celebrate the importance of looking back to move forward, through the arts and the spirit of Sankofa!
