Black History Month
Every February, we have the opportunity to celebrate the many achievements and history of our Black neighbors and community members as part of Black History Month.
The City encourages everyone to celebrate, learn, and honor Black History. Here are just a few ways to get started:
- Learn about local history from the Oregon Black Pioneers, or check out their listing of BHM events throughout Oregon
- The NAACP explains Black History
- Books by Black authors will be on display at the West Linn Library throughout the month. You can see them spotlighted on the Library's Facebook page, or check out digital audiobooks and ebooks without leaving home
- Stream films celebrating Black History Month for free on Kanopy with you Library card
- Read City Council's Black History Month Proclamation
Learn more about what the City is doing to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at our DEIB information hub.
