YOUNGSTOWN Harding Elementary educators are exposing students to the accomplishments of African-Americans including some close to home as part of Black History Month.
Principal Teri Coward said black history is American history, and school staff want to provide information to student about the many African Americans throughout history who blazed trails for those who came after them.
Students choose someone to research, and they email Coward a paragraph they write from their research. She reads the information during each day’s morning announcements to share it with the school.
“The depiction of blacks in American history impacts the character of black children who don’t get to see positive images of black Americans,” Coward said. “Teaching black history gives scholars many options towards success they may not know exist.”
