This February, Central Square embraced love in all its forms with the Love Central campaign—a celebration of the vibrant community, rich culture, and deep connections that make Central Square truly special. Merging the spirit of Valentine’s Day with the essence of unity, Love Central is all about highlighting the people and places that define this unique neighborhood.

Honoring Black History & Community Voices:

In addition to celebrating love, Love Central also recognizes the invaluable contributions of Black community members in honor of Black History Month. Through storytelling and spotlight features, the campaign amplifies the voices of local Black business owners, artists, and changemakers, weaving their legacies into the fabric of Central Square’s history.

Features:

Rev. Dr. Ellis I. Washington | Senior Pastor at Saint Paul AME Church
Emmanuel Mervil CEO of EVERYBODY GOTTA EAT
