Opening Day: Leaders and Legends of Philadelphia, A Black History Month Exhibit for Families
February 5 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
On Monday, February 5, elected officials, distinguished guests, families, and school children will gather at Smith for the opening day celebration of “Leaders and Legends of Philadelphia.” This free and family-friendly educational and inspiring exhibit will be on display throughout the month of February at Smith.
It honors the contributions of local African American leaders across a wide range of fields, including fields whose impact has made Philly a better place to live, work, grow, and play.
The exhibition is made up of educational displays focusing on each honoree’s life and achievements. Students from Community Partnership School, Dr. Guion Bluford School, and James R. Lowell School will be part of the opening ceremony, which will include a kid-friendly scavenger hunt and a student-led press conference to learn more about these local heroes.
Leaders and Legends runs through February 29. The exhibit is installed on Smith’s 6 ½ acre playground and is free to the public. Visits to the exhibit are welcome during Smith’s visiting hours, Tuesdays-Sundays between 10 am–4 pm.
