My Project
Studying African American history in schools can provide an enriching experience for students. It offers a valuable opportunity to explore and celebrate this culture through the transformative avenues of art and literature. This educational journey enables learners to examine the struggles, triumphs, and contributions of African Americans throughout history, leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of their culture.
Learning African American history through literature and art not only enhances students’ academic experience but also fosters critical thinking, empathy, and cultural awareness.
The goal is for students to gain skills to analyze, interpret, and appreciate diverse perspectives, which enriches their cognitive and emotional development. This approach creates a more inclusive and respectful learning environment where all students feel valued and understood.
Incorporating literature and art into the study of African American history is a transformative educational practice. It deepens students' understanding of the past and inspires them to celebrate the cultural contributions of African Americans. It teaches them about racial justice and representation by adopting a holistic approach, which I can use to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that nurtures the minds and hearts of my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
