AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY PROGRAMS ON KWHI

  

Starting on Monday, a yearly tradition continues here at KWHI.

Students from Brenham High School will be presenting a series of short, informative presentations in honor of African-American History Month.

The presentations will discuss important people and historic moments in African-American history.

African-American History Month was first celebrated by students at Kent State University in 1970. 

It went national six years later with President Gerald Ford officially recognizing it during the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976.

The African-American History Programs will air starting on Monday and lasting thru Friday each day at 7:48am and 5:25pm.     

The programs are sponsored by the Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library, Allen Dave Funeral Homes, Citizens State Bank, Mike Hopkins Distributing, Brenham National Bank and Brianna’s Salad Dressing.
