The Denton County African American Museum will celebrate Black History Month with an informative event on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 11 a.m. – 11:45. 

Angela Lucille Evans, docent and tour guide for the African American Museum at the Historical Park of Denton County, will present part I of a two- part program in celebration of Black History Month.  She will speak about “The Many Complex Roles of a Black Woman’s Life.”  She was inspired by reading Joyce Hansen’s African Americans Who Made a Difference: Women of Hope, and how many of the aspects of their stories matched those stories exhibited on the walls of the museum. Although these women may not be known far and wide, but they have certainly “made a difference” in Denton County. 

Angela was born here in Denton, went to school here, went through Integration in high school here, spent some time “elsewhere,” but returned to Denton to be with her family several years ago.  Her mother, Betty Kimble, is very well known here as a rather extraordinary women – one of those who has made a difference in Denton County, and she continues to do so.  

Angela's two-part presention will be held  February 6 and  February 27.  The programs will begin at 11 a.m. and the museums close at noon.

Editor's note: Angela is at the museum Tuesdays – Saturdays, most days from 10 – noon.  If you miss the special programs, it is entirely likely that she could be encouraged to share some of her thoughts about her diverse readings for the talks with visitors, though her “regular” tours focus on the history of the African American families in Denton County.
