‘A Taste of Color’ celebrates variety of cultures

Black History

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – February is Black History Month and one of Zanesville’s favorite traditions for the month is ‘A Taste of Color.’

At the Zanesville Civic League people enjoyed music and food from a number of different cultures. Civic League Director Lisa Brooks said she could not have been happier with this year’s turnout.

“We have a variety of food. Different cultures have different foods. Different people bring different things to the table. And you get to taste it. We have barbecue chicken that came from Zane State. Parents and staff member brought in food too so that everybody could have a taste,” said Brooks.

This was the 20th year that the Civic League has held the event. Brooks shared what Black History Month means to hear.

“It means to me our history and the history of what our country stands for. It means a celebration of love and loving one another,” said Brooks.

Brooks said they are already excited for next year’s ‘A Taste of Color.’
