Black Excellence Through the Ages.
Presented last night by the students of the Black Student Union at Center High School. An amazing performance. Created, directed, and performed 100% by students.
They spoke from the mind and they spoke from the heart. They talked of pride and they talked of struggle. They celebrated excellence and they called for equity. They sang, they danced, they drummed. They performed as a family.
Enjoy the photos. Video and more stories to come.
