EVPL invites you to celebrate Black History Month with us as we look at the history of black Americans, the advocacy led by modern black Americans, and the central role black Americans have played in U.S. history. Discover something new with our Black History Month Reading Challenge, explore an exciting book with our recommended titles, and connect with others at one of our programs and activities.
