Black History Programs/Events at Somerset County Library January 30, 2021
Throughout the month of February, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) will commemorate the legacy and history of Black culture through a plethora of interactive, virtual programs for customers of all ages.
In 1926, African American historian Carter G. Woodson(This link opens in a new tab) implemented a week-long commemoration exploring the history and culture of the heritage. Over four decades later, in 1970, this event evolved into Black History Month. Since 2018, thousands of Somerset County residents have joined SCLSNJ in celebrating the historical month. Now, in 2021, SCLSNJ will continue fostering these important discussions and historical explorations.
