Join Trinity United Church of Christ and The DuSable Museum of African American History during Black History Month, as we Commemorate

The Journey of Remembrance begins Sunday, February 2nd, and continues each Sunday, as we travel from the shores of Ghana to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, to the slave ports of New Orleans, and conclude with the great migration north, to Chicago. We will be immersed in the spiritual, cultural, and historical perspectives of our ancestors.
And, for the first time, the DuSable Museum will partner with us in this journey, as each Wednesday, at 6:30 p.m., they will present programs that deepen our historical understanding. For example, on Sunday, February 2nd, as Pastor Moss takes us to the shores of Ghana and the beginnings of the slave trade, the DuSable Museum will present a documentary of the story of Kwame Nkrumah and Ghanaian Independence on Wednesday, February 5th at 6:30 p.m. Mark your calendars, as the Black History Month Maafa Commemorations at Trinity UCC and the DuSable Museum connect you to your history as never before! The DuSable Museum of African American History is located at 740 E. 56th Pl, Chicago, Illinois.
