The Drew Community Center hosted the 23rd annual Arlington Black History Celebration on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 28. Volunteers had created a “Hall of History” featuring photos and artifacts from Arlington’s historically African-American churches and organizations. Inside the gymnasium live music and dance was featured onstage, local restaurants offered lunch and snacks for sale, a variety of free activity stations were set up for the children and vendors offered goods for sale and information on community and local services.
