MPT’s slate of Black History Month programs offers compelling, inspiring, and heart-wrenching stories about the Black experience in our nation. We’re pleased to offer this focus on the Black community and to celebrate its many contributions to American society.

HBCU Week NOW offers films about the under-told stories of sacrifice, courage, innovation, and hope that chronicle HBCU contributions to science, medicine, history, education, civil rights, the arts, music, sports, and more!
