Black History Month Conversation w/ Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

2400 Civic Center Place,Miramar FL 33025

04 February, 2023

Description

Join Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam, and sculptor Nilda Comas for a conversation for Black History Month. Hear about Ms. Comas' sculpting process and what inspired her approach to the Dr. Bethune sculpture on display in the United States Capitol Statuary Hall. African-American women and educational pioneers such as Mary McLeod Bethune opened doors for future generations to make their historical mark. Dr. Bethune’s bravery and values must be honored and her statue now takes the place of a Confederate soldier that once represented Florida in our nation's Capitol. We will be joined by the National Panhellenic Council Broward County Council, the Divine Nine fraternities and sororities, and the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune National Alumni Association - Broward County Chapter.
