COTTON CLUB JAVA.

Cotton Club Java, a free African-American history month celebration, will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m., in Room 302 of the Student Center at Wor-Wic Community College on the corner of Route 50 and Walston Switch Road in Salisbury.

The free event will include literary readings by students, as well as a keynote poetry reading by Reginald Harris, author of “10 Tongues.”
