Celebrate Black History Month with the Hogan's Alley Society ✨ Sankofa: Return to Joy is a special evening filled with music, dance, delicious food, and the first public reveal of the Hogan's Alley Commemorative Coin. This inspiring night will offer space to gather, reflect, and honor the vibrant culture, history, and resilience Black communities have nurtured and continue to shape.
This year's theme, Return to Joy, embodies our collective road to rediscovering Black joy within the community. To celebrate this, the HAS team has curated an uplifting event you're sure to remember, hosted by the amazing Acacia Gray!

Marking this occasion is the exciting reveal of the Hogan's Alley Commemorative Coin — a memorable moment early in the evening to reflect on as we celebrate our journey toward a future rooted in our joy. Anticipate amazing tunes by DJ Softie Shan, a live performance by Emerald Osagie and a conversation with Randy Clarke, a former resident of Hogan’s Alley, and other acts to close out our night!
In the spirit of Sankofa, we hope that we can reflect on the rich journey of the past — recognizing all we have overcome and celebrating our accomplishments — while dreaming of and building on the limitless possibilities for our futures. — Let's share in the joy of this moment together. We look forward to seeing you there!
