February is Black History Month and the Northeast Louisiana African-American Heritage Museum is kicking off the month with an exhibition of art by Monroe born artist Monti Sharp. The Emmy winning Sharp gained fame as an actor on television and film but he was keeping his art to himself until family convinced him that it should be exhibited. His art will be shown at the Northeast Louisiana African-American Heritage Museum February 2-16.
