As we bid farewell to February, Alliance is proud to have hosted a full slate of programs for and by the Black community. We started on February 1 with a movie group screening of the recent film ‘Passing’ and a discussion of the psychological effects of passing, hiding one’s Blackness.
We continued our event series on February 7 with a pre-recorded panel discussion of the legacy of HIV/AIDS survivors and the virus since the early 1980’s.
We held Black History Jeopardy twice, on February 9 and 23, with fun and festivities.
We also held a discussion on the history of substance use in the Black community (February 13), a Valentine’s Day event, and a second film screening—this one the 2022 release ‘Emancipation.’
Thank you to the event facilitators and everyone who attended.
