SUMMARY:Eighth of May Emancipation Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate local history! Students from MSMS\, Columbus High\, Columbus Middle and MUW will commemorate the successes\, struggles\, contributions and legacy of area African Americans through song\, spoken word\, step and dramatic performance.
