Local health & rehab center celebrates Black History Month

HUNTINGDON, Tenn. — A local health and rehab center is honoring Black History Month.

Huntingdon Health and Rehab Center invited guest speaker Wallace Cunningham, pastor at Greater Mt. Nebo Missionary Baptist Church.

Members of the center say it’s a way to pay respects to the contributions of the African-American residents of the community.

“We are here because they are not as mobile as some, so they cannot get out, so we wanted to bring the message here to them,” Cunningham said.

Pastor Cunningham says he hopes to be invited again next year to speak at the center.
