JACKSON, Tenn. A local high school came together to celebrate Black History Month.
“So much of what has happened in the past is who we are right now. We stand on the shoulders of people who made great commitments and great sacrifice, and we need for our students to know you didn’t just arrive here at the situation you’re in and the conditions you’re in alone,” said Principal King David Rush.
Liberty Technology Magnet High School students and professionals from the community came together Wednesday morning to celebrate the month.
Rush says the intent of the program was to make sure students know there are many people who had to make sacrifices in the past.
