My Project

My students are the ones Curtis Mayfield wrote about when he wrote the lyrics to the song, "People Get Ready." They're the descendants of individuals Gil Scott Heron sings about in his song, "95 South, All of the Places We've Been." They're learning the value of keeping their "Eye on the Prize," and how to hold onto their achievable dreams. They're the ones who will continue to "march down 'Freedom Highway'" and hopefully, find the peace we're fighting for. They're the ones, who will gain the "Respect," Aretha Franklin sings about. They will witness, "The Times Are A-Changin," like Bob Dylan penned around 1964. They're the ones who have the chance to find meaning in Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." They're the ones Alicia Keys sings about in her song, "Underdog." When I look at them, I see and hear Medgar Evers, Dorothy Height, Marcus Garvey, Lyda Newman, Harry Belafonte, Shirley Chisholm, Rosa Parks, Henry Brown, Ida B. Wells, Martin Luther King, Ruby Bridges, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglass.

"The world will see you the way you see you and treat you the way you treat yourself." (Beyonce)

For BHM, our school comes together to create an Interactive Living Museum, which brings students, parents, administration, and community together to honor the past and inspire the future. The BHM Theme for 2023 is "Black Resistance." Our focus is to bring families together to celebrate, educate, and raise awareness. We are teaching our students about activists like John Lewis and encouraging them to be the change they hope to see in the world. The "You Have The Strength & Courage To Inspire Others and Change The World" T-shirts, personalized with our school logo, will spread the message throughout the community we are united.
