Black History Month Presentation
That All Will Enjoy
Black History Month
is a time of celebration for
the achievements of African
American's throughout our
history.
Everyone has their
own traditions that they use
to celebrate and we at the
J.C. Coleman Foundation
have our way to celebrate as
well.
This year in honor of
Black History Month, The
J.C. Coleman Foundation
After-School Program is
putting on a presentation.
This presentation will
be held at Williams Court
Apartments which is locat
ed at 1900 Lincoln Street in
downtown Savannah.
It’s right across from
The John S. Delaware
Center, which is where we
hold our After-school pro
gram. The presentation will
be from 4:00 p.m.- 4:45
p.m. We will possibly host
the production at The John
S. Delaware Center on
February 25th.
The presentation will
include biographies of
famous African American's
that will be recited by the
kids. A few of the biogra
phies they will be reciting
are Bessie Coleman, Martin
Luther King Jr., Louis
Armstrong, and Rosa
Parks. Then after
the biographies, the kids
will be singing a few of the
old African American spiri
tual songs. A few of the
songs they will be singing
are "Free at Last," "Wade in
the Water," "Swing Low
Sweet Chariot," and
"Nobody Knows the
Trouble I've Seen."
Once they finish the
songs, we will have a few

Many of us are willing
and able to do this work. I
extend an open invitation
to the City of Savannah for
20 religious, civic and
business leaders to join me
and form a work group to
engage interested citizens
in a dialogue on race and
other matter that enhances
both our social capital and
community development.
Let us gather on
Monday, February 28 at 6
pm at St. Matthew's
Church, 1401 Martin
Luther King Blvd,
912.233.5965. The overall
goal is to move us graceful
ly into the conversations
words from Pastor Reese
and the presentation will
end.
The kids can't wait to
get started on the biogra
phies and songs. They are
really excited because
some of the famous
African-American's biogra
phies they will be reciting,
they have never heard of
before.
They also look for
ward to singing because
just like the biographies,
most of them have never
heard the songs either.
After the Christmas pro
duction, they were eager to
start something new.
This is the perfect
opportunity for them to
learn something important
in their history while hav
ing fun at the very same
time.
that we have around and
through the walls that are
dividing us.
With Respect and
Appreciation,
