The University’s Multicultural and International Student Affairs division hosted Exhibiting African American Culture, an event meant to showcase African American talent and culture through the lens of the students that live on campus.
Dancers Cilicia Thornton and Diamond Lee, part of the student-organized Hip-Hop dance group Flipside, performed a spirited routine at the event, but first were three individual performances by Southeastern students. Biology major Angie Jacobs recited “Dear Black Man,” written by viral poet Ernestine Morrison Johnson.
Up next was Michelle Brister, a music major, who covered the classic soul song, “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke on her electric guitar. Last of the individual performers was Claraion Hill, a senior early childhood education major, who recited “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou.
