In observation of Black History Month and as part of our commitment to celebrate diversity all year long, PBS and WGBY offer documentaries and specials that explore the richness and complexity of the African American experience.

You can find both on-air and online content through the PBS Black Culture Connection.  There you’ll find programming such as Vel Phillips: Dream Big Dreams, an inspiring story about  thiscivil rights leader who achieved an impressive list of “firsts” as part of her legacy, including the first African American judge in Wisconsin and the first woman and African American in the nation elected to executive office in state government.

To view our list of offerings throughout February, visit Black History Month at WGBY.
