Celebrate some of the biggest and most life changing contributions of African Americans over the decades.  This year we honor African Americans from all periods of U.S. history, from the great inventors of the 18th Century to the great literary minds of today. Join us in celebrating the people who pushed the United States to evolve into something better and more equal for everyone. Begin your journey at the Arches Playground in Gene Leahy Mall and discover the importance of celebrating Black History Month!
