Northview Minority Culture Club Celebrates Black History Month
February 26, 2010
The Minority Culture Club at Northview High School celebrated Black History Month during a Thursday program “Striving to Help Those In Need”.
The students reflected upon the devastation from the recent earthquake in Haiti, and encouraged Northview students to donate toward the relief effort.
“One of the lessons that black history can lend to everyone is education,” said guest speaker Aylia McGee (pictured left), a federal defender from Montgomery. “Education will determine where you end up.”
The program also paid tribute to singer Michael Jackson with montages to “Beat It”, “Scream” and “I Want You Back”. The Northview Tribal Beat Jazz Ensemble also performed.
