Eighth graders at Second Street took a field trip to the African American History and Culture Museum with their teachers on Wednesday. The trip allowed students to connect their seventh and eighth grade readings, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, March by John Lewis, poetry by Langston Hughes, and the memoirs of Jackie Robinson and Frederick Douglass and look for other historical events that connected to quotes or imagery from their readings. In advisory, students watched the documentary “Soundtrack For a Revolution,” which focuses on the Civil Rights movement in America in the 1950s and 1960s, including first person testimonies from activists about their experiences in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma, Alabama’ Philadelphia, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee. Sixth graders at Cooper Campus also visited the museum earlier in the year.
