Black Scranton

Thank you to the and the Center for the invitation — and thank you to for pulling up to cover our Black History Month trivia night at the University of Scranton. 📰✨

Community. Culture. Local Black history.

Thanks Penn State Extension Master Gardeners in Lackawanna County today was awesome!!!!

WBSRD honors the history and impact of Black Americans today and every day. One way we can do this is to highlight skaters of the past who were there for the beginnings of this sport. Darlene Anderson was the first professional black female to play roller derby. She started out in 1957 in Pasadena, CA and ended her career in the 70s. She was inducted into the Roller Derby Hall of Fame in 2009. Darlene Anderson opened doors for those who came after her. WBSRD proud to honor her legacy, along with so many others. Celebrate Black History Month with us by tagging your favorite local Black owned businesses/organizations in the comments
