El Camino College Compton Center celebrated Black History Month in February with a series of events recognizing the historical contributions of African Americans in this country. Several of the events will bring black history to life with dancing, drumming and other musical elements.
Events kicked off with an encore performance by Compton native Gerald C. Rivers titled “Martin & Music.” Rivers, a professional actor and motivational speaker, portrayed Martin Luther King Jr. and was joined by Broadway vocalist Charles Holt.
