As February continues, so does the festivities of Black History Month in Sonoma County. Folks in Petaluma have been accustomed to celebrating the annual month long observance by interacting and participating in elaborate exhibits and events all over town. But, in the midst of a pandemic causing the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum to still be closed, Petaluma Blacks for Community Development, the organization putting on these events has been forced to think outside the box. The outcome of this has turned a square mile part of Petaluma Downtown into a part time gallery of art and appreciation.

To help celebrate Black History Month throughout all of February. Sonoma State University is collaborating with various guest speakers of different artistic categories such as music, theater, art and much more in effort to honor the history, leaders and accomplishments of the black community.
