JACKSON, Tenn. — The Hub City is celebrating Black History Month by showcasing performing and visual art from members of the community.
The celebration at Jackson City Hall opened with a proclamation from speaker and president of the Jazz Foundation of West Tennessee James Cherry and was followed by performances from Vonda Peet and Ayanna Corintha.
In addition to the performances, visual art exhibits featuring the works of Neveah Burdine, Stormie Steele, Chrystal Brown, Courtney Haynes, and Jordan Nichols will be on display all month long.
“Black history is American history and Black history is world history also. At some point, I think it’s just needs to be integrated into our everyday lives,” said Cherry.
City hall will be lit with red, yellow and green lights for the month of February in celebration.
