Therapeutic Recreation
Join us in recognizing and celebrating the power of intersectionality this Black History Month! Black disabled voices have often been overlooked, but they’ve been vital in shaping culture, advocacy, and progress in the fight for equality. We have highlighted some of these remarkable individuals in the banner above and you can learn more about their stories here: Black History Month Bios.
Celebrate Black History month at Arlington's 31st annual Feel the Heritage Festival on Saturday, February 22 from noon-5 p.m. at Charles Drew Community Center. The festival welcomes hundreds each year to explore Arlington’s historically African American neighborhoods, while enjoying live entertainment, delicious food, and dozens of vendors. It’s a celebration you won’t want to miss!
