Black History Month exhibit

A collaborative group of nonprofits will once again host Antioch’s Black History Month exhibit. The free exhibit will provide a timeline of historical events featuring art, artifacts, literature, and creative arts that reflect the African American experience in America.

The timeline will highlight the homeland of Africa, slavery, the adaptation to plantation living, the Church, the emancipation of the slaves, adaptation to freedom, the civil rights movement, and end with the historic election of Barack Obama, the first African American President of the United States.  

The Black History Art & Artifacts Exhibit will be held through Saturday, February 15, 2014 at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center (multipurpose room) at 213 F Antioch, CA.  The Exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, 2/14 and Saturday, 2/15 with a closing Reception from 2-4 p.m.

The Exhibit will provide a great educational experience for families and elementary and high school student groups.  For more information, visit www.art4antioch.org/Black-History-Exhibit.asp.
