‘Black History, Western Legacy’ Event Set for February 27 at Metro Tech

Metro Tech’s 2026 Black History Month Celebration promises to be a powerful day of culture, community, and connection. The event, titled “Black History, Western Legacy,” will take place on Friday, February 27, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Metro Tech Conference Center, 1900 Springlake Dr., Oklahoma City, OK 73111. Vendor registration is open, and registrations are due by February 14. 

This year’s theme honors Western Black culture and history, spotlighting the cowboys, cowgirls, trailblazers, and icons whose contributions helped shape the American West while also highlighting the future being shaped by today’s leaders and innovators.

“We’re creating an experience that educates, inspires, and connects,” said Metro Tech Student Liaison and Black History Month Committee Chair, Khanita Jefferson. “This event gives our students, staff, and community the chance to engage with educational speakers, explore local vendors, and access resources that uplift Black excellence and support our local workforce.”
