I choose to celebrate the end of Black History Month teaming up with Jump Start to talk about Black History month with inner city youth at the Hamilton Fish Park Library on Houston st. We did diffrent activities like color pictures of notable African Americans who made major Civil Right contributions; like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Barack Obama, etc. I also had the oppurtunity to read to the kids about the founder of Black History Month "Dr. Carter G. Woodson". The Kids where extremely aware of all the people we spoke about which made me want to commend the tearchers in our schools for doing a such a good job at keeping our youth informed. This event will be my first of many ways of putting in time to help inspire, and inform inner city youth that they can make there dreams a reality with positive thinking similar to the people we spoke about during the Event.
