- My name is Stefanie R. Minatee.

00:02.800 --> 00:06.622
I'm the artistic director
for Jubilation Choir.

♪ You can only be ♪

00:08.359 --> 00:11.163
♪ So loved today ♪

00:11.163 --> 00:14.490
We started in 1998 at the New Jersey

00:14.490 --> 00:16.563
Performing Arts Center in Newark.

00:17.510 --> 00:18.800
- I was so grateful to come out.

00:18.800 --> 00:21.210
Just to see the move of the choir,

00:21.210 --> 00:23.820
the spirit of Black History Month

00:23.820 --> 00:25.593
really exceeded my expectations.

00:26.804 --> 00:29.050
- [Stefanie] I think it's
an opportunity to just

00:29.050 --> 00:32.500
share our culture and
heritage and we're just so

00:32.500 --> 00:37.323
excited to share the
music and the spirit of

00:38.820 --> 00:41.677
our people and what our
people have gone through.

00:41.677 --> 00:43.060
(choir sings in harmony)

00:43.060 --> 00:45.087
To be able to share
with other cultures and

00:45.087 --> 00:48.030
to get the respect from other cultures I

00:48.030 --> 00:49.573
think is a great asset.

00:50.649 --> 00:54.232

00:55.820 --> 00:57.750
- [Veteran] For such a
small choir, you fill

00:57.750 --> 00:58.992
the room and you got us on our feet,

00:58.992 --> 00:59.825
(crowd claps)

00:59.825 --> 01:00.697
so thank you for that.
