Heroes of the Heart: A Black History Month Celebration

This is a community-centered Black History Month event honoring love, resilience, and the everyday heroes who shape our communities and uplift our children and families.

This year’s gathering will center joy, healing, and cultural connection through music, art, and togetherness. We are excited to welcome back Charles Samba and Aidid, who will lead a powerful and interactive community drumming circle for all ages. Click here to watch videos of last year's drumming circle!
