On March 5th, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz joined Principal Margo Collins and students at Brooklyn’s P.S. 45 for their Annual African American program, entitled “I am Africa.”

The annual program celebrates African-American history and recognizes the historical and contemporary contributions and achievements of African Americans in every aspect of American culture, with a series of musical and theatrical performances by P.S. 45 students.

“Every year we proudly celebrate Black History Month in honor of the many outstanding contributions and accomplishments of our heroes of African descent,” said Borough President Markowitz. “I applaud the students of P.S. 45 for their observance with this wonderful event.”
