Councilwoman Dionne Fox invited residents to the City of Inglewood Black History Month Festival on Saturday, Feb. 21, downtown Inglewood from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., describing music, food trucks, activities and student speeches showcased during the event.
During the tap‑in Fox highlighted local accomplishments: she congratulated sixth grader Ella Bunn for winning first place in the Inglewood Unified School District Science and Engineering Fest in the sixth‑grade category and praised her academic performance.
Fox also recounted how District 4 resident Karen Martin heard a neighbor calling for help, called 911 and performed about 10 minutes of CPR until paramedics arrived. In recognition, Fox said she named Martin a "Shero" for taking quick action that helped save the neighbor's life.
Fox closed by thanking viewers and encouraging attendance at the festival and upcoming community meetings.
