In celebration of Black History Month, the Ambler Branch of the NAACP and the Black Reserve Bookstore in Lansdale will be hosting several events.

On Feb. 17 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., author Cynthia Culbreath will launch her newest literary creation entitled "Olympic Leap” at the Black Reserve Bookstore in Lansdale.
This book contains the history of her cousin Josh Culbreath of Norristown, a stellar hurdler who embraced the complexity of his sport with unwavering fortitude. His refusal to quit, coupled with triumphs in meticulously laid plans, exemplified the power of destiny fueled by his unwavering belief. The stories woven into the book unveil the journey of Culbreath, transcending the confines of family tales and reaching into the realms of Olympic glory, hometown camaraderie and the era of segregation that failed to hold him back.
