The themes of our public events, more than 75 in the past 2 decades, are “Recognizing and Celebrating People and Historic Events”, through recognition ceremonies, commemorative plaques, refurbishing/placing grave markers; “Arts and Culture”, with concerts, art exhibitions, visual displays; “Guest Speakers”, on topics of local, national and international interest; and “Black History Month”. The variety of events and activities, the speakers, their credentials and topics, recognizes the breadth and depth of the interests of our members and those who support us.
