Celebrating Black History: "A Taste of Soul" program was beautifully student-led with such inspirational tributes to Whitney Houston, Oprah Winfrey, Muhammad Ali, and so many other great African-American leaders. FES students acknowledged local trailblazers, several of whom were present and acknowledged during the program. Included in the tributes to local trailblazers was Constance Slaughter Harvey, the first black female judge in Mississippi. A huge shout-out is extended to Dr. Rhonda Kelley, Ms. Barbara Ware, FES students/staff, parents/guardians, and community members for making the program a splendid success!
