Black History Month Celebration – Performers
Morning Program
Art, Music, & the Harlem Rennaissance
The Harlem Rennaissance was a place and period during which African American thinkers, scholars, artists, and musicians created new cultural explorations and ideas. This year, we explore the unique interplay of music, art, ideas, and history with two notable Brentwood High School alumni, artists Paul Green and Clerida Eltime, as they interpret this notable period of black expression.
