“Letting OUR Voices Be Heard” will celebrate Black heritage and culture Sunday at Mitchell College.

This event honoring Black History Month will spotlight Black performers and Black-owned businesses. Included in the mix: dancers to influential Black speakers, singers to natural hair specialists. DJ Tim Allen will provide music of Black culture, and Black-owned food trucks will sell food.

The event is the brainchild of Mitchell College student Inonda Peterson. She organized “Letting OUR Voices Be Heard” as a way to show younger generations in the Black community that they are not defined or limited by their skin color.
