“Honoring folks like Fire Chief Monroe Smith, Travon Free and Samir Hernandez is a testament to the fact that our youth can do anything they set out to accomplish,” said Compton City Councilmember Lillie Darden.

Art was on display by “Art by Wash,” also known as Fulton Leroy Washington, and there was an entertainment room featuring historical speeches, music, and documentaries.

“The Black History Month event in Compton was a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of our city. It was a privilege to share the oral stories of our community, display some of the notables of our city through the C125HS traveling exhibit, and to showcase the talents of our local artists.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support from the community and look forward to continuing to preserve and celebrate our history for generations to come,” said Minister Pauline Brown, chief operating officer and co-founder of the Compton 125 Historical Society.

Food lovers were able to sample delicious dishes from black restaurateurs, while book lovers browsed works by black authors.
