My Project

During this Black History Month, I would like to teach my students why Historically Black Colleges (HBCUs) were created and about the many individuals that have made an impact in our past and current generation.

"The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression." (WEB Du Bois)

I attended a HBCU, University of Maryland Eastern Shore. I wanted to be surrounded by individuals who looked like me with similar goals and purpose in life. I would like to introduce my students to my alma mater and other universities that have graduated many famous people my students know today.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Black Panther's star, Chadwick Boseman are graduates of an HBCU, Howard University. I've added Black Panther LEGO sets, HBCU books, and UMES apparel. The books will be used to educate students on the importance of HBCUs. The LEGO will be used to build historical figures and landmarks, and inspire students to work hard to achieve their dreams.
