Diversity coalition participates in Black History Month

0

The Noblesville Diversity Coalition is doing its part for Black History Month. The nonprofit has conducted two movies in a four-part series throughout February, and it also plans to feature a Black History Program at the end of the month.

This is the group’s second year conducting events during Black History Month.

The Black History Program will be at 5:45 p.m. Feb. 27 in the Noblesville High School auditorium, 18111 Cumberland Rd., and will feature a multicultural and Afro-American perspective storyteller Celestine Bloomfield from Storytelling Arts of Indiana, original pieces from Noblesville High School students and a performance from the Bethel AME Church Gospel Choir. The event is free and open to the public.

Two movies remain in the series, each set from 2 to 5 p.m. Feb. 21 and Feb. 22. The movies will be “Hidden Figures” on Feb. 21 and “Loving” on Feb. 22. The movies are shown at the Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza, and will feature a short discussion following the movie.

“The discussions have been pretty good with the conversations,” said Bob DuBois, a member of the NDC board. “People in the audience all had stories to share, experiences to share and a lot of folks were people of color and mixed-race families talking about conversations they have with their children. I think it’s been a good conversation and helpful for NDC board members to hear that feedback.”

The movies are free and open to the public, and no reservations are required.
