Our mission is to build bridges of multicultural understanding by connecting people and resources in Central Minnesota.
Our vision is a welcoming, vibrant Saint Cloud community that embraces, respects and appreciates all races and cultures that arrive. That vision also includes new residents being connected with relevant and culturally sensitive resources.
Black History Month
February is Black History Month.
Each year, the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society.
The remembrance originated in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson. Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass.
This year's theme "Black Women in American Culture and History" honors African American women and the myriad of roles they played in the shaping of the United States.
