Black History Month Bulletin Board Created by WFS Students
Middle school students had the opportunity to engage with a Black History Month bulletin board created by Sisters of Color members Zoe H. ’30, Maddie W. ’30, and Mia J ’30.
In small groups, students visited the display while Zoe, Maddie, and Mia guided them through a series of questions designed to spark conversation, reflection, and deeper understanding. The experience invited students to interact with history, consider its relevance today, and learn directly from their peers.
