The Thermal Belt Friendship Council will present a viewing of the “Soundtrack for a Revolution” on Saturday, Feb. 26, at noon. The program will be held at Roseland Community Center, located at the corner of Peak and Howard Streets in Tryon, as part of the Thermal Belt Friendship Council’s continuing Black History Month celebrations.

The program is free to participants, and a light lunch will be provided by the Thermal Belt Friendship Council.

Participants are also encouraged to continue the Black History Month celebrations by attending a Black History program at Garrison Chapel Baptist Church on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 5 p.m.

The Thermal Belt Friendship Council is a loosely organized group of local residents that meets together to narrow the racial divide. There is not a membership fee to join the organization. The organization was established during the late 1980s, in response to a planned Klan march in Tryon. Individuals gathered together to examine strategies to demonstrate their lack of support for the Klan. Out of the meeting grew the first community picnic.

Anyone interested in joining the many activities sponsored by the Thermal Belt Friendship Council should contact its president, Dr. Joseph Fox, at JLFox1@charter.net.
