My Project

My students are eager scholars who enjoy learning about new things. Being able to read independently, while learning about the history of the Civil Rights Movement, would help to spark their interest and engage them in discussion. History is an important part of their learning and reading journey, and books that address a variety of topics pertaining to the Civil Rights Movement are extremely imperative. These books will foster the love of reading and further engage them in learning, exploring and increasing their knowledge. "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots". Marcus Garvey

Mrs. Tarver Maya Angelou Academy @ New Beginnings Grades 9-12
