Party with a Purpose: Celebrating Black History Month with Poetry
February 20, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Live at Memorial Episcopal and online!
Join with neighbors in the 21217 community for the Sixth Annual Black History Month Party Sunday, February 20, from 3-5 pm. Hosted by BHCA’s Social Action Task Force (SATF), this “Party with a Purpose” celebrates the writings of Black authors. This year’s featured guests are Wide Angle Youth Media, and the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum on Eutaw St. at Lafayette. Plus, the three incredible poets from last year will be back: Black Chakra, Mecca, and Lady Brion.
New for 2022, the program will include live music by duo Dan & Claudia Zanes (photo above), and following tradition, neighbor Dan Palmer will keep everything running smoothly as Master of Ceremonies.
It’s a hybrid event, meaning you can either attend in-person or online. Guests wearing face masks can attend the live show in the main sanctuary of Memorial Episcopal Church, 1407 Bolton Street. The sanctuary can easily seat 80-100 people safely socially distanced. Plus, the Party will be broadcast live via Zoom, so you can choose to watch online from the comfort of your home.
Hosted by the BHCA Social Action Task Force, which promotes and raises funds for local non-profits doing great work. To get involved with the SATF, email satf@boltonhillmd.org.
