About this Event

Black History Month at Makerhoods

Join us in person to celebrate Black History Month with Stories That Changed the World. Dive into inspiring tales, connect with the community, and honor the incredible impact of Black trailblazers. It’s a chill, welcoming space to learn, share, and get inspired. Don’t miss out on this amazing experience!

We are honored to welcome Mr. James Howard, founder of the Black Innovators Hall of Fame, whose work shines a light on the often-overlooked brilliance of African American inventors and entrepreneurs. Through extraordinary stories and rare artifacts, Mr. Howard brings history to life—revealing how everyday products and groundbreaking innovations were shaped by Black ingenuity.

This is more than a talk—it’s a celebration of creativity, resilience, and impact. Come learn, be inspired, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the innovators whose contributions continue to shape our world.

Come curious. Leave inspired.
