The African American Cultural Center celebrates African American legacy and culture through various lectures, workshops, exhibits, and artistic symposiums all year long. The Black History Month Opening and Closing Ceremonies are among the Center’s signature programs and represent just a small portion of the events as part of Black History Month. We are a proud co-sponsor of African American Cultural Center's Black History Month Closing Ceremony with a keynote address by Dr. Rik Stevenson, a professor of African American Studies at the University of Florida. Dr. Stevenson's research examines Black resistance in the Middle Passage.
