Celebration!

Celebrating Black History Month with PS 217 k –ย  5th grade after-school participants. โ€œThe 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans, and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds โ€“ free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary โ€“ intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Indeed, work is at the very center of much of Black history and cultureโ€

We are honoing the rich heritage, resilience, and contributions of African Americans, which are deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Flatbush, Brooklyn. As a historically diverse neighborhood, Flatbush has been a hub for Black entrepreneurs, artists, and activists who have shaped its identity and championed social progress. Celebrating Black History Month here highlights the achievements of trailblazers while fostering a sense of pride, unity, and recognition of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice.
