Monuments and Movements
Free event for the whole community. Friday, February 17 at 7 PM. Enjoy a special night of storytelling. Just like monuments are more than stones and plaques, stories are more than words on pages. Stories from Black history are meant not only to honor the past, but inspire future generations to carry the torch of perseverance, compassion, and equality. Join us to hear stories from Monroe residence who had front-row seats to the civil rights movement that played out in their beloved city. Having lived experiences in Monroe, storytellers will share difficult yet powerful stories of the past. The retelling will teach the young and remind the old of the ongoing need for awareness and empathy to honor the legacy of Black pioneers. Join us for this conversation, where these special storytellers will inspire all to evaluate how they become living monuments in their own right. Learn more at blackhistoryofunion.org.
