He is also an accomplished musician, poet, author and painter.
Fresno City College President Dr. Carole Goldsmith says the Black History Month celebration is not just for the students, but for the community to participate in as well.
"It goes to serve to further educate all Americans about our history and the important part African Americans played in our American history," Goldsmith said.
