Find Greatness Within Series

Make plans to attend the Find Greatness Within Series – a series of programs held every Sunday in February that highlight African American heritage, music, storytelling and expressions of unity.  Each of the four programs will feature a performance and interactive audience activity that focuses on significant elements of African American history.  Those elements are then translated into one of the Center’s six core values – respect, confidence, conviction, dedication, giving and spirituality – to demonstrate how they play a role in finding the greatness within ourselves.  Be a part of this memorable way to celebrate African American history month at the Muhammad Ali Center.
