Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My high school students are living their best lives and becoming proactive, productive, and positive pieces of their community and the world.

My scholars have grown up in an area filled with turmoil and trauma, but they have overcome the negatives and are living their lives in a positive way.

My students are living in poverty. They attend a Title I school in Saint Louis, MO. Every day they have struggles, but none of them let their struggles define them. They will succeed at whatever they put their mind to because they are passionate, hard-working​, and want to be better than a stereotype.

My Project

My students enjoy reading about people who have lived similar lives to their own. Having a class set of novels allows my students to read alone or in small groups.

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison lets my students into a life and culture that they understand, but it also helps them see that world, their world, from the outsider's point of view.

This novel helps them to see things from a different viewpoint--which helps them understand others. This leads them to become a more caring and empathetic part of their community.

This novel shows them that their words matter, their culture matters, that they matter.
