Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had to reimagine the ways we gather, celebrate and learn together. Public libraries throughout the Garden State have moved their offerings online, finding new ways to keep their vital programming alive. That includes the Somerset County Library System, which has been hosting a range of virtual events — from lectures to workshops to readings to social events.
This month, the library system will be holding events to commemorate Black History Month, an annual occasion to remember the particular history of African-Americans in the United States and around the world. Attendees can participate in offerings that talk about the history of the Civil Rights Movement, the contributions of Frederick Douglass, the story of Harriet Hemmings, the events in Tulsa and Black Wall Street and more. Explore this list of events from Somerset and beyond to see what’s happening and when.
