Danville High School wrapped up Black Heritage Month the morning of February 28th with an assembly filled with awards and entertainment. Students A.J. Darnell, Tayvion Diltz, and Curtis Beasley IV served as co-emcees.
Following the program, in a loud Dick Van Dyke Auditorium as students were filing out, Diltz talked about what being a co-host meant to him.
AUDIO: Coming on as a junior, it means a lot that I can help put on the show; I can bless myself and others by showing that you don’t have to be scared to get on the stage and do whatever you want.
For senior Curtis Beasley IV, he sees this year’s Black Heritage Month assembly, and all of its expanded entertainment, as setting the tone for the future at Danville High School.
AUDIO: Just being able to get out here and do this for the first time is like groundbreaking for what the future can bring. It seems as though we went over the top, but there’s going to be much more to come in the future. And the more that DHS can learn to adapt to things like this, and the more we can let our students work on things like this, it’ll just be great. And I’m excited for the future, and what we’re leaving behind for the next generation of students.
