Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town of North Hempstead will host a celebration of Black History month on February 27 at the “Yes We Can” Community Center in Westbury. This year’s theme will be “The Words of Maya Angelou” and will feature, in part, readings of Angelou’s most famous works.
Intermingled with the readings will be musical performances from a number of area schools, including: Carle Place High School, Carle Place Middle School, Westbury High School, Drexel Avenue School, Park Avenue School, and Powells Lane School. Selections of African dance and drumming will also be featured.
New awards will be given out this year, honoring prominent African American members of the North Hempstead community who have displayed remarkable generosity in their care and service of the town. One honoree will be selected from each council district.
The show will begin at 6:30pm and will end at 8:00pm. Immediately before the event there will be light refreshments beginning at 5:30pm.
