In honor of Black History Month, the Buffalo Bills are giving away gift cards to local black-owned businesses in Buffalo. Enter now for the chance to win! The spectacular evening was dedicated to honoring Black History Month by celebrating the resilience, creativity, and influence of Black fashion through the ages. Black Carpet II spotlit contemporary designs, talent, and the richness of Black culture, while paying tribute to the trailblazing journey of Black fashion.
The night also highlighted and celebrated 10 distinguished Black Icons — influential leaders across various fields in Buffalo — with special awards, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the community. By collecting and distributing books that focus on these themes, we are showing Black children that they can be main characters - in books, in life, in careers, and in our communities.
We are encouraging them to learn about legendary African Americans who have blazed a trail in history, and who they can aspire to be like in their own lives. We believe that putting these books in the hands of children of all races and identities will act not only as a mirror, but as a window to the diversity that exists within our world. It is our belief that children will take charge of changing the hearts and minds of those who do not see the benefit of building relationships with people who do not look like them.
The landscape of America is vibrant and diverse, and we are doing our part in making sure that what children read reflects that. Children from Nanny's Nook Daycare on Jefferson Avenue will participate in a story hour with Zeneta and receive books to take home that feature stories about Black history, heroes and diversity.
