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
