Hello NCDC Members and Friends,

Tonight's the night!

This year's celebration of Black History Month is particularly significant because it marks its 100th year. The founder, Carter G Woodson, earned his PhD from Harvard University, and chose the second week of February to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

As it aligns with the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, organizers highlight the need for our nation to honor an accurate narrative that includes the contributions of Black Americans.

Tonight, February 12, at 6:30pm at the Gardens Library, Author Dr. Lamell McMorris and Birmingham, Alabama Mayor Randall Woodfin will share their insights about this unparalleled time in America.  Attend via Zoom by clicking this link. 

As we elect new leadership at the municipal level on March 10, our speakers will also touch on how important our vote is to shape our communities. Please register for one or more events:
