Young & Gifted: A Tribute to Black Heroes Past and Present will be presented at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, at Willard Library, 7 W. Van Buren St.

Participants will learn about the achievements of African Americans in society. Past and present heroes will be highlighted in the areas of space, inventions and business, said Angela Maddox-Bonner, who works in Willards Youth Services Department.

I chose these three people because we hear about others such as President Barak Obama, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and tennis player Serena Williams, so I decided to highlight people who are not spoken of often, Maddox-Bonner said.
