Black History Month Celebration

Celebrate Black History Month with Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Nantucket Historical Association and sponsored by Nantucket Bank: A Division of Rockland Trust, Wednesday, February 21st, 5:00pm – 6:30pm at Greater Light, 8 Howard Street!

Black History Month is an opportunity to honor and understand Black histories. We’re thrilled to host an amazing program of oral presentations and song by the Nantucket High School Students & Diversity Club, and keynote speaker, author, educator and historian, Barbara White.

Enjoy an impactful evening of celebration and reflection. We’ll discuss notable Black Americans on Nantucket, the integration of Nantucket schools, and how Nantucket abolitionists helped spearheaded national change. Light refreshments will be provided for guests. This event is FREE, but due to limited space registration is required. We are thrilled to be honoring Black History with you!
