Make Black History Month Come Alive
Black History Month – an opportunity for education, an opportunity for art, an opportunity for inspiration
It’s almost February, which means it’s almost Black History Month. Looking for ways to make this an unforgettable experience for your students rather than a simple history lesson? We’ve got you covered. Urban Gateways touring performances offer a wide range of options – from connecting African roots to learning about African-Americans in popular music styles:

And if you don’t work for a school, and don’t need an assembly, no problem: Just take a minute to think about it. Often the students who see our performances are seeing a live, professional show for the first time ever, and to connect that formative experience with a historical moment is the sort of thing they won’t soon forget. We put great weight on our touring shows for what they can do for children’s minds – artistically, educationally, and inspirationally.
