Black History Today, created by Marcus Harden in honor of Black History Month, pays tribute to the living legacy of Black history in our community and recognizes the people among us who are boldly shaping the future. The long-running series has continued to grow and now lives as an exhibit at the Northwest African American Museum in Seattle.

“While being surrounded by incredibly impactful pillars of Seattle’s community, Marcus Harden hopes that young people will realize they don't need to look to distant figures, but rather to the people in their own communities who are making a difference, and understand that they too can be the next person to shape history. The long-term vision is for a dynamic exhibit that expands beyond the speaker's personal connections to include youth, elders, and others doing important work, emphasizing community strength and the hero in all of us.
