This week our students read from The Willie Lynch Letter and the Making of a Slave. An important lesson on America's ugly history of slavery. According to Reverend Barnes, our African American Studies Teacher, "These are topics that our students rarely learn about, but that are critically important." A focus on this chapter of history is indeed eye-opening and we look forward to our African American studies teacher empowering our students with this knowledge.
