Following a dynamic House 91, the library is proud to celebrate Black History Month with our students. We began with, Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat
Other favorite books included last year’s visiting author, the ballerina Misty Copeland who wrote Firebird. Students also loved the unbelievably true story of Wilma Rudolph, a young African-American girl who overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman in the world. Students were riveted by her story, Wilma Unlimited by Kathleen Krull. They were also entranced by the vibrant book Trombone Shorty, an award winning autobiography written by the famous crescent city musician.
Happy Black History Month!
