MOUNT HEALTHY — As it has for 12 years, Mount Healthy High School's Black Cultural Workshop will take a message of cultural diversity on the road during Black History Month.
The Black Cultural Workshop uses song and dance to promote cultural diversity for schools, churches and other organizations.
From reading about famous African-Americans to making family trees and watching movies depicting the struggle for equality, area students will begin today to mark Black History Month in different ways.
Formed in 1972, as a way to help promote the contributions of famous African-Americans, the Black Cultural Workshop has been about “bringing about cultural awareness to educate and inform the community,” said Margie Ferguson, who serves as sponsor.
The Black Cultural Workshop is made up of four components: a gospel choir, a group of fashion models, the Soulsteppers step group and Traveling Through Time, which fo cuses on the music of different time periods as well as the dance and choreography.
