In honor of Black History Month, join us for a very special storytime with Ms. Laury featuring the children’s book Kente Colors. Discover how these woven cloths are created in Ghana and learn about the colors and symbols of kente cloth.
Afterwards, we’ll recreate our own versions of kente cloths with geometric shapes, bold lines and patterns, and just a little bit of “weaving” and creativity!
Free and for all ages.
About this Event
Forget the Marvel Universe! Our very own Black History is filled with real superheroes and powerful stories of black men and women, who fought against all the odds to achieve greatness.
This event highlight some of our hidden heroes and their inspirational stories that are rarely told. The superheroes we will feature all had different POWERS: Some were architects, some were inventors, some were mathematicians, entrepreneurs and sports stars.
These are the real superheroes that our children need to know about. Who are they? And how did they impact black history? All will be revealed at this one-of-a-kind webinar. There are limited virtual spaces available, so register for free now to avoid any disappointment!
SUPERHERO SPEAKERS:
ROBIN WALKER – The Black History Man
ANDREW MUHAMMAD – The Investigator
LEON MARSHALL – The Scientist
Please note: This event will be broadcast via zoom. You will need to register via zoom to have access into this webinar.
Start the school year with this powerful Anti-Blackness/Anti-Racism professional development training opportunity!
Workshop Presenter:
Dr. Brian L. Wright, Award-winning Author and Associate Professor & Program Coordinator of Early Childhood Education, Department of Instruction and Curriculum Leadership, College of Education and Coordinator of the Middle School Cohort of the African American Male Academy at the University of Memphis
Entitled after the award-winning book, “The Brilliance of Black Boys” workshop will help educators, administrators, social workers/counselors, government officials, funders, and other educational equity stakeholders better understand and identify the promise, potential and possibilities of Black boys. For Black parents, families, and community members, it will be a refreshing reminder of the beauty and brilliance of our children and affirmation in the face of negative narratives and experiences with schools and other systems.
Drawing from a wealth of experience in early childhood education, Dr. Wright will present an asset- and strengths-based view of educating Black boys. This positive approach enables practitioners and school leaders to recognize, understand, and cultivate the diversity of social skills of Black boys in the early grades (Pre-K-3rd grade).
Two unique benefits are available to registrants only:
o Free electronic copies of select articles by Dr. Wright published in NAEYC’s Teaching Young Children Journal (usually only available to NAEYC members)
o Limited quantities of autographed copies of “The Brilliance of Black Boys”
This special workshop will provide practical skills and tools that can be put into practice right away including:
o Tangible illustrations of what is lost when Black boys are prevented from participating freely in boyhood, having to instead attend to adult and peer interactions and attitudes that view them as “bad boys” and “troublemakers”
o Classroom strategies to help young Black boys achieve their highest potential
o Other resources for supporting Black boys’ social-emotional development including a preview of “Black Boys are Lit” – an upcoming publication with a reading list of 300 authentic multicultural children’s books with Black boys as protagonist
“The Brilliance of Black Boys” is the fourth in a series of workshops as part of “Blacks, Believers & the Montessori Way” (BBMW) community awareness and empowerment campaign.
BBMW is sponsored by IMPACT LIVING Christian Center, a non-denominational faith community led by Black leaders, as a part of its planning process for opening Morning Glory Montessori, an all-boys, Afrocentric, Christian Montessori school in fall 2021. (www.impactlivingcc.org)

This workshop is made possible by a grant from the Sheltering Arms Foundation.
