This Black History Month, we invite you on an interactive journey that uncovers the past, deepens our understanding of the present, and envisions a future rooted in justice and equity. Through thought-provoking games, engaging stories, and powerful reflections on racial justice, we shine a light on the resilience, achievements, and ongoing struggles of Black communities across Illinois and beyond.

At the heart of our mission is a dedication to advancing racial justice and collective liberation. Black History Month is more than a celebration—it is a necessary act of truth-telling. In a time when some seek to rewrite history, erase injustices, and distort reality, it is more important than ever to remember objective truths. By confronting the past with honesty, we ensure that we hold perpetrators of injustice accountable, honor the resilience and sacrifices of those who fought for change, and prevent history’s mistakes from being repeated.
