Lenfest Kids
Lenfest Kids celebrates Black History Month by taking a trip to the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, where we learn about a style of music that is central to Black cultural heritage. Our movie recommendation is Soul (2020), which is full of New York-specific treasures. See how many you can find!
