Kansas City PBS Celebrates Black History Month

Kansas City PBS explores the richness and complexity of the Black experience with regular content throughout the year. During February, we are proud to offer additional programming in observance of Black History Month, paying tribute to Black achievements, culture and strength, while exploring the prejudice and adversity the Black community has faced throughout history. 

Tune in all month for special KCPBS content celebrating Black History Month. Additional programming is available online or within Kansas City PBS Passport, an on-demand streaming service available to members, that provides access to exclusive programming online and in the PBS Video app.
