The Brooklyn Nets will celebrate Black History Month during each of the team’s five home games at Barclays Center in February by honoring the legacy and impact of Black pioneers across a range of industries. Black pioneers of the past, present, and future will be highlighted to show that Black history is not only something of the past, but that the next generation of Black leaders are creating history in real time.
