‘Every Voice’

On Wednesday and Thursday, students from the Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts in Brooklyn performed a Black History showcase, “Every Voice,” underscoring that not just one voice matters, but every voice matters.

With the help of the performing arts teachers and staff, students demonstrated art in all its forms, including dancing, singing, visual art, skits, and a performance by their renowned steel pan band.

Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts said these performances honored Black excellence, creativity, and those in Black history who paved the way for expression and freedom.

“At Meyer Levin, we believe it is essential to honor Black history through the arts and foster meaningful learning, empowerment, and change,” said Jaime Hendrickson, principal of the Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts. “Witnessing our students embrace this theme and transform it into something extraordinary fills me with immense pride.”

Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts said events like “Every Voice” hold deep significance within its walls and for the broader Brooklyn community.

As a borough rich in Black history, Brooklyn has long been a hub for culture, activism and artistic innovation.

“The showcase is one way we create opportunities for students to explore their heritage, embrace their talents, and give back to the community,” said Lashaun Innis, dean at Meyer Levin. “By uplifting young creatives, the legacy of those who fought for freedom, equality, and creative expression remains alive. Our students aren’t just honoring history but shaping the future.”

Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts said the Black History Month Showcase is one of the several events organized by the school ” to uplift and strengthen students, staff, families, and the community at large.”
