The Democratic Party of Chattooga County sponsored a community celebration of Black History Month this past Saturday. The event, titled “Celebrating Our Heritage Through Poem and Song,” featured local talent performing songs, dances and spoken word tributes to black history.

This year, the Community Service Award was presented to Felicia Foster who founded Felicia’s Kidz, an after-school tutoring program, and in recognition of her many hours of service as a volunteer with numerous other local charities. The Community Spirit Award was given to Katie Price who has served the community for over 25 years at her position with the United Community Bank.
The event was held at the Chattooga County Civic Center in Summerville.
