Thanks to a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Bright Star Theatre performed two shows at Calhoun Elementary for Black History Month.
Black History Hall of Fame (for grades K-4) took students on a journey through black history. Students met Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, a Tuskegee Airman, Rosa Parks, Dr. Maya Angelo, and Dr. Martin Luther King.
Great Women of Black History, performed for students in grades 5-8, showed students inspiring female figures such as the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, the Jazz Age with Ella Fitzgerald, and ground breakers like Michelle Obama, Dr. Maya Angelo, Sojourner Truth.
