Black History Program

Atlanta, Georgia, Saturday, February 22, 2020: The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2015 – 2024 as the International Decade of People of African Descent. This proclamation was made because the people of the African diaspora and their human rights should be protected and promoted. During the month of February, we celebrate and honor the contributions that people of African descent have made to this Nation. In 2020 the ArtsXchange will celebrate the multiplicity of what it means to be African. As a part of this celebration, ArtsXchange will be hosting the following events for Black History Month:

ATL BLACK HISTORY FILM FESTIVAL: Presented by Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr, Fulton Films, Friends of Wolf Creek, and Urban Film Review
