Welcome to BLK History Month! This year’s official theme is “African American and the Arts.” Although we celebrate Black history all year long, we’re excited to share stories about local heroes who have made an indelible mark on Richmond region. “In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment.” - Association for the Study of African American Life and History (asalh_bhm) #GrabABite #PlanATrip #CatchAVibe #VisitBLKRVA #VisitRichmondVA #BLKHistory #BLKEvents #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM
