On Saturday, March 1, 2008 there will be a celebration of African American history in the Town of Pulaski. The event will take place at First Baptist Church on Magazine Street. The program begins at 4:30pm followed by an old-time pot luck supper.
Pulaski has one of the most interesting African American communities in Southwest Virginia. Because of industrialization, the black population in Pulaski Town was a quarter of the population in 1900. Many of the oldest churches in the community are African American.
