[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is a great idea, on the contrary. 3rd graders in MCPS do a “wax museum”, impersonating important historical figures, some of whom are African American. Dress-up is part of the work, as is writing and memorizing a speech. No one shows up in blackface. [/quote] Yes, I think the dressing as a leader part is fine. I feel a bit uncomfortable with the head wrap, but only because I —even as an AA woman— respect that the fabrics of African ethnic groups aren’t mine to wear. I don’t know all the symbolic colors, designs, and folds but many are restricted to certain people who have earned them. [/quote]
