Black History Month celebrations in Plant City continued Feb. 9 with something pleasing to the ears.
The 16th annual Black Heritage Jazz Festival was held all day at the Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum, starting with a 9 a.m. youth summit and switching into high gear at noon. Daniel D. and MIXX Group headlined the music festival and played everything from energetic, soulful jazz tunes to Prince covers. Charlie Sampson served as master of ceremony and Donald Dowdrige dressed as Frederick Douglass for the event. There was also an art display of black leaders past and present as created by area students.
