Black History Month: How to celebrate virtually in 2021

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — February is the month we celebrate Black History. News10NBC honors the significant contributions African Americans have made to the Rochester area and our country and celebrates the present (and the future) of Black culture.

However, like so many other gatherings, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to modifications and some cancellations to annual events. Here’s how Rochester-area organizations and institutions plan to celebrate Black History Month in 2021.
