Gainesville Black History Month Events
February 15 @ 8:00 am - February 23 @ 5:00 pm
The City of Gainesville is hosting several Black History Month events during February at A. Quinn Jones Museum and Cultural Center, the historic Thomas Center, Bo Diddley Plaza and Evergreen Cemetery.
African American History Month (Black History Month) is a month-long celebration of the achievements and cultural recognition of African Americans in the United States. During the 1800s to the 20th Century, African Americans have made significant contributions to Black life from the early days of the abolitionist movements, the reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, Black arts movement and the civil rights movement during Jim Crow.
The City of Gainesville is observing Black History Month with a showcase of artwork, performances and remembrances this month at several city venues.
