The Marion County Library held an African American History Month program for fifth graders at the Palmyra Middle School Thursday. W.T. Johnson, a local historian, presented the story and life of Carter G. Woodson, the father of African American History Month. There were over 100 participants between the students and teachers. Throughout the month of February the library will have displays up for patrons to explore the history of African American History Month as well as African American authors. (Contributed photo)
