Celebrating Black History Month at HSDC
February 24, 2022
Happy Black History Month!
As we at HSDC continuously work to uplift, amplify, and honor Black voices in every aspect of our organization, we recognize the privilege of our platform and the related responsibility to affirm our on-going commitment to anti-racism—this month and every month.
Even as we make internal changes and take actions that may not be announced via social media, we understand the importance of sharing this commitment publicly. With that in mind, we want to offer some of the readings, materials, and resources that have been shared around by HSDC staff and dancers over the past few weeks in celebration of Black History Month:
