February is Black History Month, a time to honor the rich heritage, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history. Here in the Evansville Region, we have incredible opportunities to engage with this celebration, learn from the past, and uplift the voices shaping our future.
Local organizations like the Evansville African American Museum, University of Southern Indiana, BRIDGE and Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library are hosting events, exhibits, and discussions that highlight Black history and culture. Whether you’re attending a lecture, exploring an art exhibit, or participating in a community dialogue, your presence matters.
By showing up, listening, and learning, we strengthen our community’s commitment to inclusivity and understanding. Black history is Evansville’s history—it’s a story of resilience, innovation, and progress.
Check out these local events, bring a friend, and be part of the conversation. Because when we honor every story, we make the Evansville Region a place where everyone belongs.
