The North Penn High School (NPHS) African American Awareness Club (AAAC) is holding their annual Colors of Pride ceremony on February 15. Students will attend an assembly during school hours, and the community is invited to attend an evening showcase from 7-8 PM in the NPHS auditorium (1340 Valley Forge Road, Lansdale).
Members of the AAAC wrote and produced the show, which includes separate acts to showcase dance, spoken word, and fashion. The evening’s theme is “The Black Diaspora”, a term used to describe the involuntary and voluntary movement of African people and culture around the world. The diaspora highlights the global nature and impact of black culture, which united African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Africans in common heritage. The show’s theme will highlight these ideas through dance and clothing inspired by Africa.
There are no tickets for the evening performance, but attendees are asked to “pay as they wish” to support senior awards and scholarships for diverse students and their allies at North Penn High School.
