Black History Month Celebration with the Toms River Area NAACP

Join us for the annual Toms River Area NAACP’s Black History Month Celebration.

The afternoon’s events include a delicious soul food tasting, courtesy of NAACP members, and a rousing performance by the Toms River High School North N’Step Team.

There will also be giveaways and other surprises to enjoy.

The main event will be a performance of Dreamweaver: The Works of Langston Hughes, by actor David Mills. Mills’ performance takes the audience on an odyssey spanning five decades of Langston’s writings, where Mr. Mills portrays Hughes’ iconic characters from his poems and short stories.

Mr. Mills’ performance highlights Hughes’ unending love for Harlem –with its foibles and fantasies and beauty and brutality.

This performance is sponsored by the Friends of the Ocean County Library – Toms River.
