Spady kicks off Black History Month lecture series Feb. 4

The S.D. Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is hosting a series of events honoring Black History Month. This is a photo from last year's lecture series.
The S.D. Spady Cultural Heritage Museum will kick off a six-part Community and Culture Lecture Series with “Silver Wings & Civil Rights: The Fight To Fly” featuring Lt. Col. Leo Gray, a World War II pilot, fighting for the U.S. 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Member Group at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 4 at the Delray Beach Public Library, 100 W. Atlantic Ave.
“This project is unique in that the entire Tuskegee Airman experience is told first hand by those who lived it,” said Charlene F. Jones, the museum's educational programs director.
For more information on the lecture series or the event call the S.D. Spady Cultural Heritage Museum at 561-279-8883 or the Delray Beach Public Library at 561-266-0194.
