Our scholars conquered their fears today at @horizonsatlanta annual swim exhibition for our rising 4th grade scholars.
They were nervous, they cried, but they were not defeated. Special shout-out to their teacher Mrs. Copeland for cheering them on and comforting them when needed.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

"Verbalizing why we check in, why we ask students to pair up or why we work through problem-solving strategies makes SEL more meaningful and not just a box to check," says educator @AshleyPTaplin:

Summer programs like @HorizonsNatl exposes our scholars to the world of entrepreneurship that can transform them into leaders in their own community. They learn how to be employers rather than employees which creates success and sustainability. @summerlearning
