Much to see, read and learn at Antioch’s Black History month exhibit, today and Saturday
Janet Sams explains the display to her friend’s daughter, Elise Sanders, at the Black History Month Exhibit in Antioch on Wednesday afternoon, February 11, 2015.
The Black History Month Exhibit at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center will feature a time line of historical events featuring traditional art, artifacts, literature, and creative arts that reflect the African American experience in America. The exhibit also features a time line of African American history from Africa to the present and provides an opportunity to taste traditional beverages and desserts. The goals are to promote dignity and pride in the African American community and provide cross cultural education for the larger community.
