The Crispus Attucks Community Center (CACC) has been an integral part of the fabric of the Lancaster Community for more than 90 years, and a key part of its mission is promoting and celebrating the African American heritage and history. CACC also offers a food program, youth leadership development programs and other resources to benefit the community.

CACC will celebrate Black History Month with a series of events including a fashion show Soul Food Thursdays (lunches at Crispus Attucks Cafe); Sounds of Blackness; a Black history quiz bowl; and the return of the Step Show & Dance Battle. All events will take place at various schools throughout the School District of Lancaster.
