Black History & Culture Showcase

This weekend, I went to Philadelphia's Annual Black History & Culture Showcase. I heard about the free event on the radio and decided to stop by. They had all kinds of display rooms including sports, military, culture, slavery, and inventions. Here's what was going on:

These men are members of the Montford Point Marines, the first African-American Marines in the country. They are being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama...and they were sweet as pie!

I also learned a lot of inventions by Black-Americans that I never knew of. Here are some of the intentions that surprised me!

Great job Philadelphia on a fantastic showcase!
