Hawks Announce Plans For Multi-Faceted Celebration of Black History Beyond February

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks begin 2016 with the launch of True Comes In All Colors: Celebrating Black History. Traditionally recognized in February, the Hawks will get a head start on highlighting Atlantans as an integral part of the rich tapestry of African-American achievement with events beginning in mid-January. Major festivities will continue through early March.

True Comes In All Colors will serve as the umbrella diversity and inclusion campaign that will spotlight the cultural contributions of various ethnicities throughout the city. The Atlanta-based National Black Arts Festival has been chosen to partner with the Hawks to help curate the story of how Black artists have had a profound transformational impact on America and the world.
