On February 25, the Duquesne City School District held its annual Black History Month Celebration for a powerful night that amplified black history, creativity, and student voices.

After everyone in the room recited the Black National Anthem, students recited 'A Dream Deferred' and 'I, Too', poems by Langston Hughes. A number of students then put on a play entitled, 'Celebrate Juneteenth'. Afterwards, Duquesne's Boys & Girls Club put on a talent show, as a number of students showcased their dancing skills. The Boys and Girls Club dance team also performed.

Special thanks to all of our staff that made this event possible, along with PACS site manager, Alexis Thomas and Duquesne Boys & Girls Club director, Le'Tresha Dean. Congratulations to our students and our organizers for a wonderful night (click here for night's directory, which gives specific credit to all of the students and organizers).
