Celebrating Black History Month
Black History Month is a time to honor and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. At BGCBC we recognize and celebrate the invaluable impact Black leaders, innovators, artists, and activists have had on shaping our communities and our nation.
During Black History Month and beyond, BGCBC encourages young people to explore the stories of resilience, achievement, and progress that continue to inspire and transform the world around them.
