“So because our culture, Black history, is built on educating, entertainment and telling our stories with art,” Conley said. “So we want to be able to kick off the month-long activities with entertainment. And we want people to get up and move around and understand the history…”

For the 35th year, VSU is partnering with Chesterfield County to hold Black History Month events this February.
