Organized by City Councilman Christopher Johnson and Mayor Mike Spano, the Black History Month celebration and reception will begin at 6 p.m. in the Mayor’s reception room on the second floor of City Hall. Refreshments will be served, and everyone is invited to attend.
Following the reception, an African-American History program will be held at the Yonkers City Council’s 8 p.m. meeting.
Wednesday evening’s event continues the celebration of Black History Month throughout the city.
A free film series, True Light Revealed, at the Yonkers Public Library is intended to shed light on some of the lesser-known personal and historical stories of African-Americans after slavery, organizers say.
The library is also hosting Black History Month poetry events every Thursday in the month of February, as well as a gospel concert and a tribute to poet Langston Hughes later this month.
