Brooklyn’s courts will celebrate Black History Month with 18 days of programs
February might be the shortest month of the year, but the Brooklyn court system is going to make the most out of it during this year’s Black History Month commemoration as the system is sponsoring or co-sponsoring an incredible 18 events in celebration.
The opening ceremony will be held on Monday, Feb. 3 at the Supreme Court, Criminal Term, in the ceremonial courtroom, kicking off the 22nd year in which the courts have celebrated Black History Month. It will feature Dr. Christina Greer, a Fordham University professor, as its keynote speaker.
After that, there will be various events, big and small, around the court system including two “Popcorn and a Movie” events at which the movies “Rigged” and “Freedom Summer” will be shown.
