*Black History Month programs*

The Perry Library recently presented 2 programs for Black History Month.  More than 170 children and adults attended the very educational and entertaining programs, sponsored by the Vance County Arts Council and orchestrated by Council Director Alice Clark Sallins.  The programs occurred during the last week of February and focused on the contributions that African-Americans have made in the world of art and culture. Gospel and Blues songs were performed by Roy Burroughs and Alice Clark Sallins. Betty Johnson wowed the crowd with original poetry readings and Alice Clark Sallins told traditional folk tales. Nehemiah Pittman performed a dance tribute to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The audience all received take-home goodies celebrating Black History Month.  A huge THANK YOU to the Vance County Arts Council and to Director Alice Clark Sallins!
