Melanin MarketPlace Parade: UPDATE

In February, we commemorated Black History Month, reflecting upon the enduring legacy of leaders who championed freedom, justice, and equitable participation in democratic processes.

We also joined in celebrations across the community, including the vibrant Black History Parade and Melanin Marketplace event, brought together families, youth, vendors, and organizations in a powerful display of culture and unity. The event was full of life — with energetic high school marching bands, the Slingshot Club showing out, local vendors sharing their crafts and food, and everyone had a blast!

Events like these remind us that culture, history, and civic engagement go hand in hand.
