WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL)–To kick off Black History Month celebrations, the Arts Alliance, as well as other organizations, are hosting a number of events to celebrate throughout February.

One of those events is a collaboration with the Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre to present Dallas Black Dance Theatre.

This is the first time Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre has partnered with a professional dance company.

And, as this event nears, Executive Director Margie Reese expresses the importance of these collaborations to celebrate Black History Month.

“Together we can weave a really strong fabric of the community and if we don’t know each other’s history, we don’t know our own history,” Reese said.
