HQB Cultural Arts Department : Afro-American History Week, February 1975

Two, blue, letter-size paper, stapled together is a program to commemorate Afro-American History week. An excerpt reads as follows:

Since the beginning of time, art and artists have played a vital and dynamic role in the shaping of the minds of men and women. Through the use of symbols and images, artists have provided various media for artistic communication. Chronologically, these media have developed into standard forms that you will see tonight should be familiar to all of you. The dance, poetry and song tell a story about the struggle of Black people for the last 400 years.

The emotion, enthusiasm, bitterness and happiness that accompany the presentation are indicative of the artists' cultural awareness and feeling for the "Black Idiom." Then too, they are soulful reflections of the memories we share with our brothers and sisters who lie in the earth.
