The Brooklyn Children's Museum is hosting a festival during Black History Month, aimed at educating and empowering children. Activities include art workshops focusing on self-love and reflection, as exemplified by the creation of mirror decorations by participants. The festival features dance performances and cultural displays, honoring the contributions of the African diaspora. Museum president Atiba T. Edwards emphasizes the importance of agency in children, encouraging them to envision their futures through artistic expression and community discussion.
"I drew a bunch of hearts because I feel like Black History Month can also have something to do with love and how you can love yourself as a Black person."
"This is one of the few spaces where a child has agency, and that level of agency and decision-making is really important for their own future."
