Tuesday, February 15th


Black History quote of the day.


“One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.” (Michelle Obama)


First Lady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is a lawyer, writer, and the wife of the 44th President, Barack Obama. She is the first African-American First Lady of the United States.

Black History Month Quote of the day


“Truth is powerful and it prevails.” — Sojourner Truth


Sojourner Truth born Isabella Baumfree; was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man.

Monday February 7, 2022

Every day, each of us come in contact with things invented by African Americans. Here are a few examples:

  • Potato chips – Created by George Crum in 1853

  • The gas mask – Invented by Garrett Morgan in 1912, the gas mask saved thousands of soldiers’ lives during World War I. He also invented the modern traffic signal.

  • Carbon Filament in Lightbulbs – Lewis Latimer added the carbon filament that made lightbulbs last longer and made them commercially viable.

  • Open-heart surgery – In 1893, Daniel Hale Williams performed the first open-heart surgery, which was also the first time a chest cavity had ever been opened without the patient dying of an infection.

  • The blood bank – Dr. Charles Drew invented a technique for the long-term preservation of blood plasma. Prior to his discovery, blood could only be stored for two days. Dr. Drew also discovered that everyone has the same type of plasma, regardless of blood type, making plasma transfusions universal.


Be sure to check out the Black History Month bulletin board in E wing.


Vinal Voices Book Club will meet this Tuesday in Ms. Wrinn's room, E 7 period 7. Please see Ms. Wrinn or Ms. Keith for a pass.

In 1976, President Gerald Ford took the occasion of America’s bicentennial year to officially recognize Black History Month, asking Americans to, “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

Some of those accomplishments include:

  • African American Matthew Henson and Admiral Robert Peary, becoming the first men to reach the North Pole in 1909

  • Track star Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics in 1936

  • Actress Hattie McDaniel receiving an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1940

  • Jackie Robinson, of the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African American to play major league baseball in 1947

  • Gwendolyn Brooks winning the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1950

Barack Obama, a Harvard graduate, former Illinois state senator, and former U.S. senator from Illinois, becoming president in 2009

The school operated 50 weeks a year, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and students had to complete 4,800 hours in their trade. In 1944, the state added academic subjects to the program, changed the classification of trade schools to vocational schools and changed the school calendar to coincide with the public school calendar. With those changes, graduating students were eligible for high school diplomas.

MONDAY February 1, 2021 remote due to snow

Origin of Black History Month: To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, American historian Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week (then called “Negro History Week”) nearly a century ago. The event was first celebrated during the second week of February 1926, selected because it coincides with the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and abolitionist/writer Frederick Douglass (February 14). That week would continue to be set aside for the event until 1976 when, as part of the nation’s bicentennial, it was expanded to a month. Since then, U.S. presidents have proclaimed February as National African American History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.
