Black History Month

This February 2021, PBS SoCal, and KCET presented an exciting programming slate in honor of Black History Month! Both stations showcased a curated lineup of enlightening programs to bolster awareness and understanding of racial history in America. In a commitment to sharing diverse and inclusive stories, PBS SoCal and KCET will continue to roll out additional related digital content exploring Black History Month and Black Americans' experience throughout February.

Headlining this lineup is the two-part series “The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song,” hosted by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr, that traces the 400-year-old story of the Black church in America.
