28 Days of Black History

February is Black History Month, and in many ways, that history is still being written today. Throughout this month, key Milwaukee Black History makers will be profiled on the City of Milwaukee website. 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.

Quilts reflect fabric of Black History, Culture

To commemorate Black History Month, quilt banners by local master quilter Ethel White are now on display in the rotunda of City Hall. Much of the award-winning art in White’s collection of more than 200 quilts depicts African and African-American history and culture. Her thought-provoking quilt banners will remain on display throughout the month of February. Please go to ethelwhite.com for more information about her work.
