Carter G. Woodson School proudly hosted its 2nd Annual Ultimate Black History Month Celebration, bringing together students, families, and community members for an evening centered on culture, connection, and excellence.


The event was filled with powerful student performances, meaningful moments of reflection, and opportunities for our community to come together in celebration. From our middle school poets to musical and live performances, our students truly shined, demonstrating both their talent and confidence.


A highlight of the evening was the presentation of our Black Visionary Awards, where we recognized outstanding individuals whose leadership, service, and commitment continue to make a lasting impact in our community. We were also honored to introduce the inaugural Hazel Mack Day: Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating a community leader whose lifelong dedication reflects the spirit and legacy of Carter G. Woodson School.


This year’s Black Visionary Award recipients included:

  • Kellie Easton

  • Curtis McLaurin

  • Rev. Dr. Melva Sampson

  • Dr. Thomas Coaxum


Inagural Hazel Mack Day: Lifetime Achievement Award Recient:

  • Dr. Larry Little


In addition to the program, guests enjoyed local vendors, great food, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that reflected the strength and unity of our school community.


We are incredibly grateful to our staff, students, partners, and volunteers who made this event possible. The success of this celebration is a testament to what we can achieve together.


We invite you to view our photo gallery to relive the moments and celebrate the impact of this special evening.

The middle school poets having a place alongside the Black Visionary Awards makes this celebration feel especially meaningful: students get to share their own voices while seeing community leadership recognized. Introducing the inaugural Hazel Mack Day: Lifetime Achievement Award adds another connection between generations. Reading about the performances and photo gallery reminded me of video to jpg and how still images from recorded performances could help families preserve a student's moment onstage.

The middle school poets stood out to me in this account of the celebration. Giving students room to share their voices alongside the Black Visionary Awards connects creativity with examples of community leadership. I recently came across sprunki swapped, and the musical performances here brought that name back to mind. Introducing the Hazel Mack Day: Lifetime Achievement Award also gives this annual gathering another meaningful way to connect students with a legacy of service.

The middle school poets stood out to me as a meaningful part of this celebration: giving students room to share their voices alongside established community leaders connects generations. The Black Visionary Awards and the inaugural Hazel Mack Day: Lifetime Achievement Award added another layer to that connection. The student creativity also reminded me of a project called deer sprite. It’s encouraging to see young talent given space alongside recognition of lifelong service.
