Celebrating Black History Month, learn about slavery and emancipation. Discover the role of African descendants in the development of North America. Reflect upon the history, struggle and enduring spirit of those of African heritage. Lessons of respect, humanity, character ed and social justice will be woven throughout the presentation.
