A Jacksonville educator reflects on her days of being in the classroom and teaching her students Black history.
Nadine Ebri recently shared a video to X showing her students from 2018 singing the Black National Anthem, which many didnโt know before she taught them.
โIt really impacted people and I had people writing me saying. you know, man, this video moved me to tears,โ she said.
Ebri says she taught her students the song because it has Jacksonville roots.
It was written and composed by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson
in the early 1900โs.
Ebri says it was more of the reason to tech her students the lyrics.
โJust seeing students singing a song of triumph and they seem so happy and just not feeling defeated during Black History Month but feeling empowered,โ said.
โI know itโs so important to teach about slavery, but we also have to teach what happened before that and how to move forward as well,โ she said.
Ebri says she keeps in touch with a lot of the students in the video.
