February is Black History Month. And so to help commemorate it, Jarden Alexis has hosted a Black History Museum at the Premier Business Center.
February is Black History Month in the United States, Canada, and Germany!
Let''s take some time to explore the exhibits at the PBC Cultural Arts Center and Black History Museum!
Please join us daily to learn about the profound global impact of Black innovators, creators, and inventors. From groundbreaking medical advancements to foundational technological creations,
Let's take some time to raise awareness and reflect on some of the many significant, life changing, innovative achievements, and contributions made by African Americans that have significantly impacted the world.
Learn about some of the many contributions and achievements by black people that has shaped our world and changed the way that we ALL live.
MUSEUM HOURS: OPEN DAILY 24/7
Black History is American History! Black History is World History!
Black History is Global History with a Global Impact!
Black History is OUR history!
The museum honored a number of Black Americans. There were a number of musicians mentioned going back for over a century.
But that was far from all. There were also scientists, mathematicians, inventors, surgeons, and others. The list of names went back over a century.
There were a number from the modern civil rights movement,honored.
Most notable was Martin Luther King Jr, whom had a statue outside the museum, made and donated by a sponsor of the PBC. Martin Luther King Day has been a Federal holiday in the US since 1986.
There was also an explanation of the holiday Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865. It was recognized as a Federal holiday in 2021.
Also honored were astronauts, politicians, and statesmen, such as Barack H. Obama, America's 44th President.
Although it was open to all at the start of the month, the Grand Opening party waited until Sunday February 8.
The event started at Noon SL time and went on to 7PM SL time, with a number of DJs.
There were a variety of outfits.
And avatars.
February is almost over, so there may not be much longer to see the Black History Museum.
