Black History Month starts early with new HBCU exhibit in Miramar. What to know
Black History Month is starting early at the Miramar Cultural Center with a new art exhibit in the Ansin Family Art Gallery.
The exhibit asks the question: “Who are the heroes in our story?”
Its answer: The higher investors, the historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
This photographic exhibit opens Tuesday, Jan. 20, and runs until March 4, with a reception and dialogue scheduled for Feb. 9 in the Miramar Cultural Center Banquet Hall.
“This photographic exhibition explores the African American educational experience through the lens of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs),” the Miramar Cultural Center said in a Jan. 13 statement.
“Their vision created opportunities, opened doors, and built a lasting foundation that continues to shape future generations.”
The center’s exhibit highlights four Florida HBCUs: Bethune-Cookman University, Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, Edward Waters University and Florida Memorial University.
The Ansin Family Art Gallery is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The gallery will also be open from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 25.
Admission is free.
