Proposed next steps:
You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
While it may be too early for restaurants and other places to publish their Black History Month offerings/activities, we found a few and recommend continuing with finding 5-7 additional activities. For each, we will provide what it is, where it is, what takes place at the activity, and the cost to attend.
Alternatively, we can provide an overview of 7-10 activities/offerings that occurred in 2019 for Black History Month in Connecticut. This may give an idea of what type of events may be available this year that may not have published their information yet. For each, we will include when it took place, where it took place, and what it was. We will prioritize looking for events at hotels and restaurants, as these are likely to be published closer to the month of February.
