CULTURE Carter G. Woodson founded Black History Week in 1926 because he saw the need for Black Americans to take their rightful place in history along with other deserving Americans. This week was later changed to Black History Month in order to expand and better highlight the achievements of Black people. South High faculty and students joined in the celebration of Black History Month using the National theme: “Living the Dream”. Teachers enthusiastically received speakers from the community in their classrooms during the last week of February. Comments arc still coming from students and teachers who felt privileged and rewarded by having been the recipients and sharers of such a wealth of experience and information. The celebration this year was made possible because of the hard work of the Black History Committee members who participated so willingly, and thanks to Dr. Sheridan, and those teachers who opened their classrooms to the speakers: Violet Carter, Bruce Golob, Marlys Hubbard, Lynn Jorgensen, Jack Litowski, Ed Lue, Dave Martin, Cathy Peterson, Ron Petrich and Ruth Saling. In addition to the classroom activities, many students participated in activities outside of the building during February. Two busloads of South students went to the University to hear Dr. Alvin Pouissant, noted Harvard psychiatrist, who addressed the many facets of racism. A small number of students was taken to the musical drama Selma, which depicted the life of Martin Luther King. The Black Culture Club viewed the video on the Black Family and held discussions related to the video about teenage pregnancy. Although the formalities of this year’s Black History Month have ended, both faculty and students are still practicing the theme of “Living the Dream” in their daily lives. 20 BLACK CULTURE CLUB
