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.

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.

Did you know? Vinal was established in 1923, made possible by a land and building donation from Amelia H. Vinal. 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.

The skills, knowledge, and habits you acquire now give you the opportunity for a great life!

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.
