Your social media feed may now be filled with roller skating routines, but the athletic art form has long been an important part of Black culture. As we recognize Black History Month, our current project to renovate the Sawyer Point outdoor roller rink, which, once completed, will be one of the largest outdoor rinks in the country, has more meaning.
