On February 20 Black History month was celebrated in the Belmont-DeVilliers area of downtown Pensacola with the 7th annual Black History Arts festival.
“The turnout has been great this year and the music has kept everyone in a relaxed and peaceful mood,” said M Hakima, local artist and owner of Wise Angel Gallery.
People were dancing in the street as the music played, most popular being the songs of Bob Marley.
Food was a main attraction at the festival as well, ranging from gator-on-a-stick to gumbo. Those cooking the food stayed busy as the lines never seemed to die down.
Cox communications was the only sponsor of this event, and the local artist hope that they will continue to be sponsors in the future.
