In addition, New Friendship Baptist Church Angels of Praise Dancers, Epiphany United Methodist Church Children’s Choir, Sycamore Presbyterian Church Choir, First Missionary Baptist Church Choir, a poem reading, and the Oxford Gourd Drum Ensemble and Cincinnati Drum and Tribal Dance will all perform.
