YMCA - Black History Month Celebration
The YMCA of South Florida is a Champion for all people and has always been a place that brings people of different backgrounds together for the good of the community. By bringing together people of all races, faiths, economics and backgrounds, we are creating opportunities that make our organization a place where equity is embraced, and diversity and inclusion are celebrated.
We invite you to join us for our Black History Month Celebration this year where we recognize the wins and struggles of African Americans nationally and in South Florida. The celebration includes a reception to highlight a civil rights photo and art exhibit, sharing of some of Fort Lauderdale’s struggles for equal rights. This year’s national Black History Month theme is “Black Resistance.”
