My Project

My students are a group of enthusiastic, creative learners from incredibly diverse backgrounds. They desire to see themselves in it literature as they develop their literacy skills while learning about the world around them.

My students desire to learn more about how, just a short 70 years ago, many of them would not have been allowed to be in the same class with one another based solely on the color of their skin.

My students will use this book about how Jackie Robison broke color barriers in baseball and had victories off the field in Civil Rights, thus paving the way for our classroom to exist today. My students are anxious to expand their knowledge and gratitude for the freedom fighters who have gone before them.
