Miami-Dade County has set the stage for its 5th annual Black History Month extravaganza with a focus on the contributions of African Americans to the labor movement. The event, entitled "African Americans & Labor," is scheduled for next Saturday, from 2 p.m. to 7 at the JL Enid W Demps Park in Miami, as reported by a recent press release by Miami-Dade County.

Intended to honor the substantial influence of African Americans in shaping the workforce, the showcase will feature addresses by notable public figures such as Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, and Retired Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie Daniels. The event's dynamic program is set to captivate attendees, with various schools delivering performances, alongside art displays and traditional dance – gesturing toward a history both rich and complex.

A family-friendly environment, the showcase guarantees an assortment of attractions beyond the cultural performances. A Kids Fun Zone is poised to keep the young ones entertained, while grown-ups can explore offerings from local vendors, catch the aromas wafting from food trucks, and soak in the live music. An announcement from Miami-Dade Parks confirmed the event is free to the public, inviting all to join the festivities and celebrate an integral part of American history and identity.
