Black History Commission

In 1993, the Black History Month Committee was formed in observance of Black History Month in which the Town Board proclaimed February as “Black History Month.”

This volunteer group’s mission is: to promote sound knowledge and information regarding the cultural heritage of African Americans during the month of February; to uphold the integrity, accomplishments and contributions made by the Town of Brookhaven African Americans not excluding the world; and to be used as a resource to develop greater understanding of the life styles of the African Americans cultural background.
