Wisdom and Witness: Honoring our Black Elders in Palm Beach County

Join us for the opening reception of our Black History exhibit for a free, community-centered event open to all. This special evening offers a joyful opportunity to celebrate and connect across generations, as guests of all ages come together to learn from the stories and experiences of our esteemed elders.

Wisdom and Witness celebrates the remarkable lives of Palm Beach County’s Black elders, living and passed, who have shaped our community through their groundbreaking work in education, activism, public service, and entrepreneurship. Through a collaborative exhibit that spans generations, the community is invited to share in the memories and personal stories that bring these leaders’ legacies to life.
