Mayor Curran invites Woburn residents to join him on February 8th, 2003, at Winchester’s Eleventh Annual Black History Month Celebration. The nationally acclaimed Hampton University Concert Choir will perform at the event, which takes place at 7:00pm at the McCall Middle School Auditorium, located on 485 Main Street in Winchester. Stated Mayor Curran, "This event will give Woburn residents the opportunity to hear world-class singers, while celebrating the contributions Black Americans have made to our community."
