H.O. Brittingham's black history celebration Feb. 22 started with an energetic presentation of the Rev. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech and kept moving from there.

"This is a wonderful school. You live that dream everyday," said Principal Cristy Greaves.

Students performed skits and dances honoring many famous African-American during the morning performance.
