[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to a small K-8 Catholic school in Montgomery County. I have been pleasantly surprised that they highlight black authors, read diverse literature, and incorporate black history throughout the school year and not just Black History Month. I don't remember any special programming for black history month. I actually prefer this approach of weaving contributions of AA throughout the year/curriculum. I went to private school back in the 80's and there was definately a feeling of one month to superficially talk about famous figures in black history and the rest of the time it was if AA didn't exist outside of slavery. BTW, our school did a special program to talk about Nelson Mandela after his death.[/quote]
