SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CA - In celebration of the historical achievements of Black/African American’s for our country, Black/African-American led organizations continue the tradition of coming together to provide events for Black History Month (BHM) in February and year-round in Santa Barbara County. The 2022 theme of Black Joy & Legacy Through Family Health & Safety connects the events to uplifting the joy, accomplishments, challenges, and successes of local Black/African-American individuals.
“Black History Month celebrates the resilience and triumph of Black people, and this year we focus on the contributions Black people have made to every aspect of life in Santa Barbara County,” said Connie Alexander of GatewayEducational Services.
