Duane Yansen speaks at the Thurston Road YMCA Neighborhood Center's Black History Month Celebration.

Join us for a Black History Month celebration! We’ll be honoring William Clark, former CEO of the Urban League of Rochester, for his outstanding service and contributions to the community, as well as the rich history and culture of African Americans in the Rochester area and beyond. The ceremony begins with an African drum solo. Attendees will hear from leaders of the YMCA of Greater Rochester and the Rochester community. Following the ceremony, lunch will be provided by Cassan’s Catering, a local Black-owned business. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in guided tours of The Thurston Road YMCA Neighborhood Center, explore the space at leisure and learn more about becoming a member. This celebration is open to members and the community.
