CELEBRATING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY

African American history Month Ideas

• Set up a resource table in our congregation featuring books written by African American authors.
• Plan a church trip to visit an African heritage museum.
• Plan a writing competition for youth. Develop a theme and invite youth from the community to participate in it. Example: What will I do to build upon the great legacy of African American leaders?
• Invite a local artist to display his or her work in your congregation. Invite persons from the community to attend the exhibit.
• Plan a cultural festival complete with dancers, storytellers, singers, drummers, poets, and dramatists.
• Plan a four-part speaker’s series. Invite African American activist, authors, and leaders to participate in the forum.
• Change your bulletin to reflect positive African American images and information.

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; And you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give. Isaiah 62:1-2
