In conjunction with the Black History Expo, students participated in month long activities celebrating Black history. In English, they read the book The Help and watched the movie. They then discussed social strata and the class system set against the racist climate of the times. In Spanish, the students learned about the profound impact Africans have played in Latin America. They examined their contributions to Hispanic culture, music, and society. They also watched the movie Quilombo to teach about this history. And during daily announcements, trivia questions were read about famous African-Americans and their accomplishments to society. Students won a prize for guessing the correct answer at the end of each school day.
