Celebrate Black History Month in Cary, NC with ‘Weekend of the Warrior’
Explore the contributions of African-Americans to the progression of martial arts.

In honor of Black History Month, the Town of Cary, NC and Speller Street Films presents WEEKEND OF THE WARRIOR, highlighting the contributions of African Americans in the world of martial arts on February 24th and February 25th in Cary, North Carolina.
Weekend of the Warrior BHM Event
Weekend of the Warrior will take place Friday, February 24th at The Cary Theater (122 E. Chatham St.).
Honoring 4-time karate champion
The event will have various activities including honoring Grandmaster Victor Moore, the first Professional African American karate champion in the United States.
There will be a kung fu demonstration by the Chinese Shaolin Center and a conversation with 4-time karate champion Grandmaster Victor Moore. Also, there will be a special rough cut / work in progress screening of the documentary GRANDMASTER: THE VIC MOORE STORY.
Christopher Everett, Director & Producer of GRANDMASTER: THE VIC MOORE STORY says “I’m thrilled to partner with the Town of Cary on this important event. Black men back in the 1960s and 1970s like Vic Moore were our superheroes but never received recognition from mainstream society. This event in Cary will highlight their contribution to martial arts to audiences throughout the Triangle.”
Tickets for Weekend of The Warrior
Doors open at 6:30 PM and the event starts at 7:00 PM. The event is free but a ticket is required. Tickets are available now on ETIX and at the Cary Box Office.
