Black History Month Celebration

Students and staff at the Great Hope Homes Homework Club held a culminating celebration of Black History Month that included a dramatic interpretation of Harriet Tubman freeing slaves with songs and readings about her journey. The students also gave short readings about civil rights pioneer Ruby Bridges: US Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker; Carter G. Woodson, creator of Black History Month; champion athlete Wilma Rudolph; and the Greensboro Four Sit-ins to protest segregation.
