 More than 100 sailors of different cultural backgrounds came together in the folk soul of USS John C. Stennis for a Black History Month celebration. I was very honored to be the master of ceremonies at this Black History Month celebration and we had a great turnout. We had a step team, a choir reform and many many speakers and we all did a really good job and it was a really good turnout. The celebration included recognizing historical Black figures that have had major influences on the military, literature, popular culture and the medical and scientific communities. Keynote Speaker was Command Master Chief Eric Faulkner from Helicopter C Combat Squadron 8. The celebration was concluded with a cake cutting on the FMSTX. From USS John C. Stennis, I'm Petty Officer Fred M. Gray IV.
