The annual musical performance to celebrate Black History Month and raise funds for scholarships at Bemidji State University will take place at 7 p.m. February 11 in the Beaux Arts Ballroom. The moving force behind Black History Month activities at Bemidji State and the originator of the fund raiser more than a decade ago, Henry plans the February 11 musical to be her last Black History Month performance. She hopes the event will generate a spirit of warmth, acceptance and caring among neighbors.
Black history is so important and it's wonderful to have a musical performance celebrating that.
In addition, pianist Roosevelt Slaughter and organist Elizabeth Slaughter of Bemidji will play a series of songs and accompany Henry on several numbers. Tickets may also be purchased in advance at the BSU Professional Education Department in the Education-Art Building.
