February is Black History Month
The observance of Black History Month provides opportunities for our Nation’s public schools, institutions of higher learning, and the public to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of the many contributions of Black Americans to our country and the world.
York Road's Cultural Competency team has provided staff with a number of engaging resources to teach our students about the many contributions of Black Americans.
Some of the resources include a virtual museum, read-alouds, slide shows presentations, as well as Black History videos and poetry.
Visit the National Museum of African American History & Culture to learn more. There are resources available for learners of all ages.
