The Lincoln Center in College Station and the Brazos Valley African American Museum in Bryan are offering programming next month to commemorate Black History Month.
On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Lincoln Center and Culturally Rooted Enterprise will jointly host Ujamma Marketplace, an event designed to support Black-owned businesses in the area and amplify the work of the Lincoln Center.
“In addition to providing a platform for small Black-owned businesses, our group will also be providing the entertainment and interactive learning component to the event,” said Jalyn Golden, one of Culturally Rooted Enterprise’s cofounders.

The Brazos Valley African American Museum is showcasing its new exhibit, Southern Champions of Civil Rights, through the end of February.
“This exhibit includes several white journalists, judges and activists, as well as a Mexican farm worker, who played very significant roles in the movement,” said museum curator Oliver Wayne Sadberry. “Each time we do an exhibit on Black history, we seem to find more and different material.”
