This Black History Month, learn about the history of West Africa and the Diaspora through the story woven intricately into fabrics. Find your creative resistance by learning about the history art of Adire Eleko, a wax resist dying technique practiced by the Egba People of Yorubaland (Nigeria, Benin and Togo).

At this hilarious and educational show, comedian Brandon Collins leads a booze-fueled lesson in Black history with the help of his friends.

It’s not your ordinary retelling—you’ll hear from “comedians, experts, writers, and other professionals who are skunked out of their mind trying to recap the biography of a historical black figure or event that hasn’t gotten the mainstream love they deserved.”

Celebrate Black History Month at this always unpredictable show that guarantees to make you laugh, learn, and drink!

This event’s guests include Sarah Cooper (Netflix), Bomani Jones (ESPN), and Onika McLean (HBOMax).
