Day 29: Celebrating 29-Days Of Black History In Brooklyn Finalé
by 
by On Day 29 of Black History Month we conclude the series; knowing Negro History Week was first celebrated in February 1926 and expanded to Black History Month in 1976. During this time, we are to highlight history of the African diaspora which is often misrepresented or missing in the American story.
Each day of Black History Month 2016, OurBKSocial remembered and celebrated a Black Brooklyn person or place. We highlighted the talent, contribution, and legacy of: activists and artists, a boxer and a businessperson, a composer and cowboys, an engineer and an educator, a mogul and a model, a principal and a politician, a performer and a producer, a scholar and a scientist, a writer and a weightlifting.
We visited a church, supported organizations, and remembered the East. And, we could have continued showcasing a different person, place, or event each and every day of this year. In comparison to the the world, Brooklyn is an extremely small place. If we can continue to highlight the greatness of African descendants in Brooklyn throughout the year, how much more African history is there worldwide to celebrate?
