Description


The Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Mystic & Noank Library and Kevin Booker Jr. are presenting our fifth annual Celebration of Black History Month Program. Our first celebration in 2022 took place outside in Mystic River Park on February 19. We encouraged students and the community to read from their own writings or from works by black authors that have moved them. The program was hosted by Kevin Booker, Jr., a Mitchell College and Connecticut College professor who also offers training in leadership and diversity, equity and inclusion though his company, Booker Empowerment, LLC. This year's celebration will begin at 9am at the Anchor by the Bridge where we will gather and sing. We will then march up to Union Baptist Church for a morning program that includes speakers and a student panel discussion. Following the panel, we invite everyone to have lunch with us at the Church.
