“With the Black History skate night aspect of that, a lot of times our community, we don’t go ice skating. That’s what Black History, that’s what the Black Heritage is all about, diving into things that maybe weren’t made like for us, but it made us in doing that,” Volunteer Coordinator of the City of South Bend’s Venue Parks and Arts Special Events Team Demetrius Kennedy.
