Passport Series Celebrates Black History Month

The MICDS Parents Association hosted a Passport Series/Black History Month event, Young, Gifted, and Black: How African American Youth Changed a Nation, last Sunday via Zoom. The program was organized by parents Roni Cowley, Heather Day, and Wilmetta Diallo, and included an engaging presentation, two interviews, and an interactive game. All MICDS parents, faculty, and staff were invited to attend, and guests expressed appreciation and remarked that they learned a lot and enjoyed the presentation.

Please enjoy the recorded event here, and check out the link to the accompanying soundscape that uses music to further enhance your learning experience.

Many thanks to Roni Cowley, Heather Day, and Wilmetta Diallo for this opportunity to learn more about Black history.
