Celebrating Nyack’s Black History & Future

Community members from across Rockland and beyond will come together Saturday night to commemorate Black History Month with a program of song, dance, and spoken word at the Nyack Center’s annual Black History Month Celebration.

Honorees at this year’s event include Nyack News & Views Executive Director and columnist Bill Batson, Spring Valley School Board Vice President Sabrina Charles-Pierre, and musician Hervé Alexandre.
