READING, Feb. 12 — State Rep. Manny Guzman, D-Berks, announced today that he will host his annual Black History Month Celebration at the WCR Center for the Arts from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18.

This free event will honor the enduring legacy and significant contributions of the Black community while providing an opportunity for engagement, and community pride.

“This annual event is growing in the heart of our community, and I could not be prouder,” said Guzman. “The event honors remarkable individuals across the district and provides a meaningful space for connection, reflection and empowerment,” he added.

Guzman said that this year, he will honor 32 community leaders, including religious figures, government officials, educators, and business owners.

“This celebration will be a vibrant event showcasing culture, history and pride, reminding us all of the power of dedication, resilience and shared progress.”

A key component of the festivities is that Guzman’s staff will be available to provide information about state programs and services that support families across Reading and Berks County.
