Safety Harbor City Hall hosted an exhibition celebrating Black
History month during February. Above, some of the items collected by
local residents, including instruments made with traditional materials.
The exhibit culminated with a program of African dance
on Thursday, Feb. 28. Dances from Liberia, Ghana and Senegal were
performed to the rhythms of traditional drums and gourd rattles by a
Tampa-based community dance group first organized in 1980 by Myron and
Natalie Jackson.
Performers included the couple’s children, Alonzo and
Aaliyah, Loretta Harvey, Imani Fitts, Osunguaide Olafemi and Markquis
Miller.
