About this Event
2026 African American Cultural and Historical Society Black History Program
Join us in person for the 2026 African American Cultural and Historical Society Black History Program entitled: Who You Are Starts With What You Know
“A Historical, Cultural, and Theological Exploration of African History”
This program invites participants to rediscover identity through the lens of African history, culture, and spiritual wisdom. By grounding ourselves in the knowledge of our ancestors, we gain a deeper understanding of who we are and the power we carry into the future. The theme emphasizes that identity is not accidental—it is shaped by the stories, traditions, and truths we choose to learn and embrace.
