The exhibit, which features 200 years of African American History and Culture, can be seen during regular Historical Center hours.
Also, the Ohio Historical Center presents the Echoes in Time Theatre's production of Bound for the Promised Land! A Journey to Freedom. The story of John P. Parker's rise from slave to business leader is the central focus of this story of an Ohio abolitionist who offered his home as refuge for many runaways. Performances are February 6, 13, 20 and 27 at 1 and 3 pm. Admission is free with purchase of museum tickets. The Ohio Historical Center is located at 1982 Velma Avenue.

The Ohio Statehouse presents several different events in celebration of Black History Month. Learn more about the life and times of George Washington Williams, Ohio's first African American Legislator. Williams was a noted pastor, author, soldier and politician and is honored with the George Washington Williams Memorial. Visitors are invited to see late 1800's style and engage in history with a look into this focal point of the Ohio Statehouse.
The Ohio Statehouse features musical performances in celebration of Black History Month. Performances can be heard every Wednesday from noon to 1 pm and features the performing arts programs of four Columbus City Schools. Additional performances include collaboration with the We've Known Rivers theatre troupe. Re-enacting the lives of important figures like John P. Parker and Rosa Parks, these 45-minute presentations combine history and drama. Performances are Thursdays at noon.
Admission to all Statehouse events is free and open to the public. For more information visit:
