Kay Marion & the Neo-Symphony at Carrboro Black History Month

The Town of Carrboro is proud to recognize and celebrate Black people and Black history in Carrboro and across the nation during Black History Month.

All residents are encouraged to participate in local Black History Month events and to learn about and celebrate the lives, history, and contributions of Black people this month and throughout the year.

The Town is committed to advancing racial equity and has recently taken several actions in support of this commitment.

The Town of Carrboro envisions being a community where race does not determine outcomes and all have equitable opportunities and resources. We envision a time when participation in community events, programs and advisory boards represents community demographics. All will feel safe and secure, knowing their voice is valued. We strive to be an inclusive and open-minded organization that has a culture created by its diverse staff, which serves the public through a social (racial) justice lens. Learn more at our Race and Equity page.

Read the 2025 Proclamation for Black History Month.
