PBS SoCal Celebrates Black History Month

This February, PBS SoCal and KCET invite you to explore and celebrate the central role Black Americans have played in shaping American history and their extraordinary contributions to culture and arts. Watch all month on broadcast, on the PBS SoCal and KCET websites, and streaming on the free PBS app. And find companion articles that examine aspects of Black history in Southern California. Headlining the programming is the two-part series "The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song,” hosted by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr, which traces the 400-year-old story of the Black church in America.
