Comment on Clark College explores black history

Everyone is invited to celebrate the legacy of civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr., by exploring black history and contemporary black life Wednesday at Clark College. A traveling exhibit of historical figures and an iconic, ground-breaking rapper from New York City will both be on hand during the day. The Black History 101 Mobile Museum, a collection of more than 7,000 artifacts that span all of black history in America — from the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the latest hip hop memorabilia — will bring a traveling exhibit to Clark called “Black Historical Figures from 1800 to Current Day.” It features iconic African-Americans in every area of life, from science to sports and politics to entertainment.
