SUMMARY:Black History & Culture: Eyes Wide Open
DESCRIPTION:Black History & Culture:\nEyes Wide Open\n“Until the lion tells his side of the story\, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” – African Proverb  \nThe 2025 Bethany Arts Community Black History exhibit “Black History & Culture: Eyes Wide Open” is a transformative journey that our society has long awaited. For too long\, we have viewed history with eyes wide shut\, omitting the presence\, contributions\, experiences\, afflictions\, and injustices suffered by African Americans in our shared history. \nThis exhibit signifies a pivotal moment where we commit to observing black history with eyes wide open\, fully acknowledging and embracing the realities experienced by African Americans in our community\, state\, and country. This commitment includes each one of us\, making us all responsible for understanding and respecting the history of African Americans. We honor their contributions\, resilience\, and legacies that have the power to inspire\, educate\, and enrich our understanding of topics ranging from the enduring fight for civil rights and advances in medicine to culinary influences. \nThis exhibit is not just a display\, but a powerful educational tool. As an African proverb wisely states\, “Until the lions have their historians\, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter.” Let this powerful message inspire and motivate us. It is time for the lion to speak. \n5th installment of this award-winning exhibit at BAC will open on February 1\, 2025 and will be on display through March 14\, 2025. The exhibition will utilize oral history accounts and genealogical research to unearth the histories of the Black experience from all facets of life.
