The National African American Parent Involvement Day took place at Lincoln High School on Tuesday.
The event, which began in Ann Arbor in 1995, is now celebrated in 47 states and a number of countries.
It is scheduled to occur annually on the second Monday of February, but was postponed this year due to weather conditions. The event was founded by Joseph Dulin, former principle of Roberto Clemente Student Development Center in Ann Arbor.
"Education is the key to success and parents are educators greatest allies," Dulin says.
NAAPID is sponsored by several schools in Washtenaw County, and the student talent competition showcases a variety of performances by a wide range of age groups.
