The Port of Seattle Commission passed a proclamation on Tuesday celebrating Black History Month 2024. Reflecting this year’s national theme, “African Americans and the Arts,” the proclamation highlights the influence and innovation of local African Americans in all fields of art, including music, dance, theater, visual arts, and literature. It recognizes that the arts have provided — and continue to provide — an avenue for expression and visibility for the voices of those who have historically been underrepresented and continue to be today.
