Black History Season 2026
A citywide season of events, programs, and storytelling honoring Black history, culture, and community—hosted by the NAACP Las Vegas Branch and our partners.
About the Season
Black History Season 2026 is the NAACP Las Vegas Branch’s coordinated, citywide approach to honoring Black history—not as a single moment, but as a living continuum of culture, struggle, leadership, and community power. The season spans multiple weeks and includes events and initiatives hosted by the NAACP and approved community partners across Southern Nevada.
Rather than focusing solely on celebration, the season is intentionally designed to combine education, civic engagement, storytelling, service, and cultural expression. Each program connects historical context to present-day realities—highlighting how Black history continues to shape policy, opportunity, and community life today.
Black History Season also serves as a platform for partnership. Faith institutions, nonprofits, educators, artists, youth leaders, and local businesses are invited to contribute programming that aligns with shared values of equity, justice, and collective progress.
