<p>All are welcome to join the Woods Hole community in its annual celebration of <a href="http://www.woodsholediversity.org/whbhmc/2019.htm">
Black History Month</a>! This year marks the 38<sup>th</sup> anniversary of this festive event. The theme for this year's Black History Month is “Black Migration” which highlights the movement of people of African descent from the South, particularly during
the twentieth century, and explores the dynamics of their new social realities. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There are a number of great events lined up for this celebration including seminars from award-winning authors, African folktales from a storyteller, and the Harambee Festival, featuring a live performance by the Cape Cod African Dance and Drum.
