Black History Stories

Families are invited to celebrate African American history and heritage through music at a free library cultural event.  Honor Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson and more by listening to stories and watching films about these prominent African American musicians and singers who shaped the creation of Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Motown and Funk.  Eat snacks and make musical instruments to form your own Motown band.
