The Hays County Commissioners Court declared February 2022 as Black History Month in Hays County during its Tuesday meeting.
“We just invite the community to celebrate Black history because Black history is American history,” said Pastor Jonafa Banbury, Secretary for the Dunbar Heritage Association. “The common narratives and the occurrences and experiences of African American people are those that ran concurrently with the things that we know about history that we learn in the textbooks in schools so it’s information that we want to share. We want to share our culture, our history and our traditions with the entire community.”
Sandra Bryant, of Buda, invited the community to the Buda Black History Celebration on Feb. 19 from 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Buda Amphitheater & City Park with the theme of “Mental Health and Wellness.”
