BALTIMORE — WMAR-2 News is bringing you part two of Bridging the Gap, a series bringing you stories highlighting not only Black history but people within the Black community who are making a difference today and shaping the future for generations to come.
All throughout February, we brought you stories from all over Maryland.
This time around — we honor trailblazers in the arts.
Just like Donna Jacobs, founder and director of Morton Street Dance Center.
Jacobs has dedicated decades of her life shaping performers, and people.
