Black History Day at Tanglewood Middle

Black History Day at Tanglewood Middle

Tanglewood Middle School had an Assembly about Black History, February 21. Ms. Jones, the mother of our chores teacher, sang us the rhyme “Jump Back” by Paul Dunbar to help us remember why we had Black History. The chorus sang a few spirituals. Some football players from Malden High sang and danced. Our step team also showed us a few moves. Mr. Sandi Sullivan from AT&T talked about his life and told us that you need an education to have work. They had a fashion show of how they dressed back in those days. The students at Tanglewood were shown inspiration from the past and the triumphs of African Americans today.
