My Project

As an educator committed to fostering a deep understanding of our shared history, I am seeking funding through DonorsChoose for a Black History project that will provide students with essential supplies to engage in meaningful learning experiences. This project aims to immerse students in the rich narratives and contributions of Black Americans throughout history, highlighting their resilience, achievements, and pivotal roles in shaping our nation.

With the requested resources, such as books, art supplies for creative expression, and materials for hands-on activities, students will have the opportunity to explore history in a dynamic way.

This initiative will not only enhance their academic knowledge but also promote cultural awareness, empathy, and respect for diversity, ultimately empowering them to contribute positively to their communities. Your support will help create an enriching environment where every student can learn, reflect, and celebrate history that is often underrepresented in traditional curricula.
