 By Marjorie Lear, Multicultural Librarian
In February, Palm Beach County joins the nation in commemorating Black History Month, which has its roots in a week-long observation initiated by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926, was expanded into Black History Month by President Ford in 1976, and became Public Law 99-244 in 1986. We invite you to join us at our various libraries as we offer programs that celebrate the unique contributions of African Americans and reflect upon important struggles toward freedom and equality.
