If you could pick any figure central to Black History to have dinner with who would it be?
I would choose Fred Hampton because of the programs he and the Black Panthers established for black youth in the 1960s.
What does Black History Month mean to you?
Black History Month is a time to shine a spotlight on black culture and inventions and to also educate ourselves about it.
What do you love about Central Catholic High School?
I love the friendly atmosphere of CCHS. We treat each other like a family.
Where would you like to see our city, state & country go from here in regards to Black History Month?
I would like to see our country really acknowledge and celebrate Black History Month. I hope this acknowledgment leads to justice when it comes to ending racism ingrained into our American system.
