Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and Council Member Robert Troiano recently attended a Black History Month celebration hosted at the Town’s “Yes We Can” Community Center on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Members of the “Yes We Can” Community Center After-School and Teen programs read quotes, poems, sang and danced to celebrate African American historical figures with a focus on pioneers from the arts and music industry.
The theme of this year’s event was “African Americans and the Arts.” Students celebrated the works of Dr. Martin Luther King, Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes, among others.
