Black History Month Celebration At MCC

As part of the celebration of Black History Month, at McHenry County College, an expo featuring authentic soul food desserts, music and multiple vendors will take place February 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Commons, Building B at the College, located at 8900 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake.

On Feb. 15, the college will host a program on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, from 9:30-11 a.m. and from 7-8:30 p.m. in the MCC Conference Center. Barry Bradford, a national award-winning storyteller, historian and teacher, will reveal the truth about Rosa Parks and the year that made Martin Luther King, Jr. a household name.

 Drawing on his experience as a civil rights scholar, activist and master storyteller, Bradford brings the unexpected, unforgettable and ultimately uplifting events of the Civil Rights movement alive. This event is sponsored by the MCC Conference Center, Student Life and Multicultural Programs.
