Thanks to your support, we were able to complete a powerful and transformative exploration into African Empires through the art of mask-making.\r\n\r\nUsing the materials you helped fund, each student researched a historical African empire of their choice –ranging from Mali to Songhai to Benin to Great Zimbabwe –and created a hand-crafted mask inspired by the traditions, spiritual beliefs, and cultural values of that civilization. \r\n\r\nThese masks became more than just art projects; they became portals of discovery. As the semester unfolded, students spoke with pride and passion about their work–drawing connections between ancient legacies and their modern identities. \r\n\r\nI'll never forget the day the materials arrived. The classroom buzzed with excitement. Students lit up as they unboxed the art supplies and immediately began sketching ideas, carefully selecting textures, patterns, and symbols that reflected the essence of their chosen empire. The weeks were filled with contagious joy and limitless imaginations. \r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful moments was our culminating showcase, where students proudly stood by their masks, sharing both historical facts and personal reflections. Many expressed how empowering it was to see themselves represented in the rich history of African empires—stories too often left out of traditional curriculum.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students are now building personal storytelling projects inspired by this unit, weaving their own family histories, creative expression and cultural pride into new pieces that honor where they come from and imagine where they're going. Your support planted seeds that continue to grow well after the project ended. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our scholars, for uplifting their voices, and for investing in their brilliance.","fullyFundedDate":1730152855291,"projectUrl":"project/empires-of-ancient-africa/8904259/","projectTitle":"Empires of Ancient Africa","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Curry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8833634_orig.jpg?crop=2268,2268,x0,y960&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700869947352","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8833634"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87410","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1287,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":87410,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Booker T Washington High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Booker T Washington High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/tulsa-public-schools/b-t-washington-high-school/87410"}
