February is the month of not only appreciating your loved ones, but also honoring your roots. Black History is celebrated month long and Sunday the Greater Unity Missionary Baptist Church held their own celebration.
 
Church members dined on an array of good food during the festivities. They also had a special ceremony featuring young men and women dressed up as famous influential black leaders. The "actors" played roles of those people and the audience had to guess who they were.
 
Richard Donnell also spoke at the event. He believes it is very important to honor black heritage whether you are young or old.
