The African American Cultural Celebration serves as the statewide kickoff to Black History Month in North Carolina. For over 20 years, this celebration has brought together African American community members, organizations, authors, artists, musicians, filmmakers, scholars, and more, around a central theme to highlight the contributions that African Americans, past and present, have made to North Carolina’s history and culture.
Multiple demonstrations, presentations, and performances reach thousands of people, whether the celebration is held virtually or in person. A virtual Education Day was added in 2022.
