 On Monday, February 26th, Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College hosted their Better Together event for Black History Month. Students, faculty, and community members gathered on campus to celebrate diversity in the region. The event also featured music and literature celebrating Black history. We had a wonderful event. This is our inaugural event that we have partnered with West Logan Christian Academy to be able to put this on. They had some very talented kids who who stood up and spoke, done songs, poetry, different things. Mr. Jimmerson done the I Have a Dream speech. It was very well receptive. Everyone was talking about how amazing it was as they were leaving the auditorium. All I could hear was just praise of what a great service that it was and how honoring it was for Black History Month. Find love in every connection at Appalachian Wireless.

One of those recipients was Anitra Ellis, who also helped organize the event. It's an honor to receive the Good Human Award. The Good Human Award is something that we started at West Logan and when it was just a homeschool ministry to help keep kids motivated to do the right thing as far as kindness, respect, integrity. So we have a lot of good people in our community that do those things on a daily basis and so we just wanted to recognize them today. I thought it was an excellent event especially for the first year. A lot of different people came out from our community to support it and I look for it to grow even bigger and bigger each year.
