The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the heritage sector, including the new traditions our organization has initiated. Additionally, the Black community has been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. With these unprecedented events happening simultaneously with the global reckoning of anti-Black racism brought to consciousness by the Black Lives Matter movement, it’s even more important to know HISTORY!
Our history continues, from the past to the present, even amidst a pandemic. History anchors us, especially during times like this.
Join us at the steps of City Hall as we feature community recognition profiles, honor Black history and raise the Pan-African Flag in solidarity.

Black Health Matters
In partnership with Geisinger’s BOLD ERG, we have developed Black Health Matters Series in response to the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. It is important to take advantage of our community resources to understand and combat racial and ethnic health inequalities. We have invited BIPOC health care professionals from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Maryland, to share important information focused on educating and empowering the community to take ownership of their health journeys.
Black Health Matters is a three-part series in which Black Scranton Project and BOLD ERG aim to expand the knowledge base of learners, educators and our communities by inviting health care professionals that look like us to engage in community based conversations on topics that are rarely discussed.
We excited to bring BIPOC doctors in conversation with our community.

We are excited to begin our journey to take Black Scranton Project to the next level by seeking to expand to a brick and mortar space to be called Black Scranton Project Center for Art & Culture. The mission of the BSPCAC is to create a restorative, innovative and essential safe space where the community participates in mutual aid and understanding. Your donation will help us get there.
