The Black History Month Gala is an initiative that was started in 2010. The main purpose was to involve the elders and the youth in an event that would inspire, encourage, motivate and recognize one and all that reach out and make a difference in their communities around the world and at
home and one and all that are achieving greatness.
What better moment to do so than during the month of Black History celebration. Black History is universal and everyone should be acknowledged and involved in sharing knowledge through celebration.
