This year marked the 100th that Black History has been officially commemorated – 50 years as Black History Week and 50 years as Black History Month – and HSD focused on the importance of music throughout the years. There was a DJ playing a variety of Black-inspired, created, and produced music; a video montage on the influence of Black artists on the blues, jazz, country, and rock music; a performance by Mooberry students led by their music teacher, Regan Geiger; and a demonstration of the famous Lindy Hop dance style that originated in Harlem in the late 1920s and 1930s. Students, staff, families, and community members alike gathered to browse and shop the wares of student and adult vendors, complete kids’ crafts, select a free children’s book, enjoy food, and more. We are very grateful to our Black Village Family Advisory Committee, Black Student Unions, staff, and others who collaborated to make this event a success.
