The U.S. Army at Ft. Belvoir has a plan to help you reinforce the importance of National Black History Month to children and yourself.

On Tuesday, the Ft. Belvoir Officers Club will welcome Hari Jones of the African American Civil War Freedom Foundation and Museum.

Mr. Jones plans to share his wealth of his knowledge of African American’s who have served their country in and out of uniform during and after the Civil War. 

After his presentation, all are invited to enjoy ethnic food, displays and art work.  Best of all—it’s free!

“The Army draws much of its strength from the diversity within itself. This event allows us to learn from the past and aspire to a better future.  The Army respects and truly benefits from the different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and attitudes of every one of its members, both in and not in uniform,” said Ft. Belvoir spokeswoman Jacqueline Leeker.

The event will take place Noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Officers Club at Ft. Belvoir.

Call 703-805-2946 for more information.
