PNC Bank Presents the 37th Annual Black History Month Celebration

Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week", the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history.

Join the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture as PNC Bank presents the 37th Annual Black History Month Celebration. Come celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans through the events and cultural programs we've planned below during the month of February.
