East Early College High School’s Black History Program on Feb. 27 was a great success. School librarian Cynthia Ramos coordinated the celebration, which included the singing of the Black American Anthem, guest speaker Attorney Elizabeth Campbell, poetry readings, performances, a Quiz Bee, and an awards ceremony.

Students were engaged in Black history lessons all month and used the competition portion of the program to showcase their knowledge. They also designed paper quilts using facts learned during their lessons, which will be entered into a competition as well.
