Last Saturday event coordinator Robert Titus and his friends came together again to celebrate Black History Month.

“This is our 5th annual Black History Month celebration here at Neal Petties Mountain View Park,” event coordinator Robert Titus shared.

“I kept seeing other people doing events for their community so I wanted to do something for our community. This is my 5th year and I’m proud of that. I think today went well. People enjoyed themselves and that’s what’s up. I appreciate everybody that came out to support and celebrate.” 

Free food, a clever DJ, lively conversations, happy reunions and informative speeches on historical and current facts concerning the Black experience were all-inclusive at this year’s Black History Month Celebration.
