Black History Month Presentation That All Will Enjoy

Feb. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- This year in honor of Black History Month, The J.C. Coleman Foundation After-School Program is putting on a presentation. This presentation will be held at Williams Court Apartments which is located at 1900 Lincoln Street in downtown Savannah. It’s right across from The John S. Delaware Center, which is where we hold our After-school program. The presentation will be from 4:00 PM- 4:45 PM We will possibly host the production at The John S. Delaware Center on February 25th.

The presentation will include biographies of famous African American’s that will be recited by the kids. A few of the biographies they will be reciting are Bessie Coleman, Martin Luther King Jr., Louis Armstrong, and Rosa Parks. Then after the biographies, the kids will be singing a few of the old African American spiritual songs. A few of the songs they will be singing are “Free at Last,” “Wade in the Water,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” and “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen.” Once they finish the songs, we will have a few words from Pastor Reese and the presentation will end.

The kids can’t wait to get started on the biographies and songs. They are really excited because some of the famous African-American’s biographies they will be reciting, they have never heard of before. They also look forward to singing because just like the biographies, most of them have never heard the songs either. After the Christmas production, they were eager to start something new. This is the perfect opportunity for them to learn something important in their history while having fun at the very same time.
