Event Details
The struggle for social justice and racial equity are often referred to as "The Work."
In honor of Black History Month, the second annual Idea Box Black History Museum honors Black Oak Park history and the leaders who have defied racial barriers to lay the foundation of this diverse, progressive village.
"The work" continues. Not only does this museum acknowledge the contributions of historical Black figures in Oak Park, it also celebrates the fortitude of contemporary Black Americans who continue to make advancements toward racial equity beyond the borders of the village.
Stop by the Idea Box during select times throughout February and learn more about the Black history of Oak Park.
