Black History Month Love Letters Displayed in Downtown El Paso

EL PASO, TX ( KVIA)- In celebration of Black History Month, the City of El Paso and Destination El Paso are
proud to unveil a new Love Letters display in San Jacinto Plaza. The Love Letters are a commemorative
display that pay tribute to the resilience, achievements and contributions of members of the Black
community.
This year’s design incorporates four colors – black to represent resilience, red to symbolize bloodshed
and sacrifice in the struggle against racism and slavery, yellow to represent optimism and justice and
green to symbolize rich greenery. The design also includes a clenched fist, a long-standing symbol of
solidarity.

Jacinto Plaza. The display will serve as an opportunity for reflection and celebration of the heritage and
legacy of Black History Month.
