Black History Festival and Events
Join us for our next event or support events in the community!
The Festival
One of NMBLC’s pioneering initiatives which aims to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage that African Americans have contributed to New Mexico and the United States. The annual festival has now expanded to a variety of events hosted throughout the calendar year that highlight African American/Black history and culture.
At NMBLC we celebrate Black History throughout the year with special events between February and July.
