February is Black History Month, and in many ways, that history is still being written today. Throughout February, several key Milwaukee Black History makers will be profiled on the City of Milwaukee website’s main page. The prominent online spot will give students and Milwaukeeans across the city a chance to learn about – and to honor – some of the city’s notable and unsung heroes.
In 2024, residents are being asked to submit their nominees of Milwaukee people, or other institutions, that represent influential figures in Milwaukee’s Black history.
Submissions are due by Thursday, December 28, and can be emailed to Deborah Moore at [email protected].
The 28 Days of Black History program will be entering its 8th year.
Past honorees can be viewed here.
