Celebrating Black History Month
On January 24, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners proclaimed February 2023 as Black History Month in recognition of the amazing and everlasting efforts and accomplishments of Black
descendants of the African diaspora in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and the United States of America.
Black history is American history. In addition to the proclamation, Hennepin County is celebrating black history throughout the month of February in many different ways.
