Celebrating History in Meaningful Places
Many of the events will take place at parks with deep cultural and historical significance, including Jackie Robinson Park, Charles White Park, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Tree Grove at Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area.
“Our parks are places where history, culture, and community come together,” said Norma E. García-González, Director of LA County Parks. “We’re proud to celebrate the vibrant contributions of Black Americans and invite families and neighbors from across LA County to join us.”
