On Feb. 2, Murfreesboro Parks & Recreation played host to 2019 African-American Cultural Night at Patterson Park Community Center.

In the United States, the month of February is observed as Black History Month or National African American History Month. 

The celebration can be felt locally, nationally and worldwide as many organizations, cities, states and countries host events that educate about the rich culture and memorable figures of African American history.

The city of Murfreesboro uses this month to remember the important contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout our nation’s history.
