The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) and the Caribbean American Lawyers Association (CALA) hosted a Black History Month event on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at the Brooklyn Bar Association, marking a milestone for CALA as its first in-person Black History Month event.
This year’s national theme, “African Americans and the Arts,” attempts to capture the profound influence of African American art on various cultural expressions, including visual and performing arts, literature, and music.
The robust turnout underscored the community’s eagerness to engage with the rich tapestry of African American cultural contributions. BWBA President Jovia Radix, expressing her anticipation for the annual celebration, credited Hon. Genine Edwards, the BWBA’s Black History Month chair, for her diligent efforts in organizing the event.
