What will be done with my students

The students will learn about the American Black History culture. It emphasizes the ties that bind together individuals, communities, and generations. Students will have a deeper understanding of society around them and be inspired to advocate for causes the align with their interest. With the black history living museum students will get a change to display their talents in a cardboard presentation form, and students at the school will get an opportunity to visit each station and learn something about black history. Students will decorate their boards, dress up in their chosen person costume, and give out treats to those who visit.
