MACON, Ga. — Organizers with the L.H. Williams Recreation Center held the first 'I Am Black History' event Saturday from noon until 3 p.m. at Jefferson Long Park.
It featured young people of all ages reciting speeches and poems, as well as singing and West African dances. There was also food, games, and other entertainment.
Organizers says the purpose of the event was to shed light on all Black history, but also on the Black history of the Pleasant Hill neighborhood.
They said it's important that children know their culture and they hope to put on the same event next year, but bigger and better.
