What an inspirational story! I cannot wait to learn more about her, when I started reading, I usually read years out loud, and it’s fun to read your columns out loud because sometimes I might quote them in a different story when I’m learning about someone new in my life during black history And I’ll quote you “Black Stories We Should All Know…” (Insert exciting, emphatic clap here) it’s my favorite part! That’s when I know we’re digging down to the good part. I went to house of science and history, formerly known as The Pink Palace in Memphis, about 15 minutes away from the civil rights Museum, and they had lots of information that stays up all year round about Civil Rights, and other similar adventures. Also, some students got to research and draw some of their favorite black inspirational artist and figures throughout history, and I took some pictures so I could go back and research some of them, but most of them I had known about. We went because my son really likes rockets and anything space related, and we really enjoy Dr. Mae Jamison. Plus, I was shocked to learn that the book about her that we have his band, but that makes me want to get more banned books and I’m not afraid to do it either. We have several in the house already. Also, my son also enjoys Leland Melvin, the astronaut that got to take a picture with his dogs.
