Wizards to celebrate Black History Month by highlighting local trailblazers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of their Black History Month celebration, the Washington Wizards will honor trailblazers from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. “Our Community, Our History” will be a campaign celebrating those raised in the DMV that have had a positive impact on D.C.’s culture. This month, the Wizards will highlight the influence and accomplishments of African Americans and organizations that are direct products of the D.C. metro area.

Each of the six upcoming home games will be themed to highlight honorees in a specific industry, as well as through a 28-day social media and digital campaign telling the stories of each honoree.
