Black History Month is a time to honor the contributions and legacy of African Americans across U.S. history and society — from activists and civil rights pioneers to leaders in business, politics, science and culture.
In collaboration with the Black History Month theme of 2024 — African Americans and the Arts — East Hills Elementary School students explored the influences that African Americans have had in the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, film, music, architecture and other forms of cultural expression.
