'Soul of Jazz' Exhibit and MORE Coming to Disneyland Resort

In February, in celebration of Black History Month, Disney Parks introduced Celebrate Soulfully, a series of entertainment offerings (and food offerings!) for Black History Month. Through Celebrate Soulfully, we got things like Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure in EPCOT, and special viewings at the Disney World hotels of movies like Soul and Remember the Titans.
