The King Center presents, ‘Sharing Our History, Shaping Our Future,’ our 2025 Black History Month series.

Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

Of course, not all Black History was tragic. And, as we remember all aspects of Black History, we are reminded that Black History is Human History. Black History is World History.

We celebrate the triumphs of our past; we contemplate the troubles and trauma of our past with courage.

We call on our World House to join in committing to creating the Beloved Community, so that horrors are not lived again and our collective human capacity to learn to live together is realized.

When we remember Black History truthfully and with intent to gain wisdom and lessons for today, we make good history and shape a just, humane, peaceful future.

We are ‘Sharing Our History, Shaping Our Future.’
