Creative Arts High School students brought Black history to life.

Students at the Camden school, along with staff, presented “Blacks in Wax: Then and Now,” a live presentation of the stories of Black historical figures over two days this week.

Students portrayed Black leaders like James Baldwin, Angela Davis and Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen in hopes of inspiring young people.

See photos from Tuesday, as students prepared to perform.
