USB Assembly

The United Sisters and Brothers (USB) hosted an educational program during 5th period on February 25 in recognition of African-American History Month.

"We're gonna have drama," said Kameron Adams ('09) before the show. As part of the assembly, students performed excerpts from the Ntozake Shange play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

One section of the program was devoted to the history of the Richmond neighborhood of Jackson Ward, once known as "the Harlem of the South."
