Durham’s Partnership for Children wants to recognize and celebrate Black History Month.  At The Partnership we believe that the histories, stories, and culture of Black people should be acknowledged. As we enter February, we are committed to providing resources to be used beyond the scope of this one-month as the inclusion of Black history is essential for an accurate representation of American (and world) History.
