The theme for 2019 is Celebrating Unity & Diversity from the Past to the Present. The free celebration will include performances from the Bradley Academy Choir, the Northfield Elementary African Drumming Ensemble, and local jazz artists. Free food will be provided as a tasting of different African American foods. Bradley Academy students will also participate in a live wax museum honoring local heroes.
