My niece in North Carolina is hoping for support for her fourth grade classroom. If you can spare a few dollars it would go along way. Here’s her wish list. https://t.co/ayYj1JvDdI

Did you know-

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, known as the "Father of Black History," started the first Negro History Week in 1926 to ensure students would learn Black history. It grew into Black History Month starting in 1976.

@ahwellherewego2 @TheRyanHamilton The way things to change is to point out exactly what is going on. So many people are quick to dismiss concerns. @TheRyanHamilton shared a devastating story so people see and change things.
