The Description

We are seeking your support for an educational trip for our Advanced Placement African American Studies and My Brother's Keeper/My Sister's Keeper students. This year marks the inaugural offering of the AP African American Studies course at our school, and we are thrilled to include students from the MBSK program on this important journey.

This trip is vital for our students, providing them with essential insights into African American history and culture. It will empower them to deepen their understanding of their identities and the collective struggles and achievements of the community. Engaging with these themes will enhance their academic knowledge and inspire them to take active roles in shaping their futures.

We have organized visits to Howard University, Morgan State University, and the African American History Museum in Washington, D.C. 

Back Up Plan

In the event that we do not reach our fundraising goal, we will implement a backup plan to ensure that as many students as possible can still participate in this valuable experience. First, we will limit the number of participants by prioritizing those with the greatest financial need. We will also explore options for partial funding and seek additional support from local businesses and community organizations. If necessary, we may adjust the trip itinerary to reduce costs, such as shortening the duration or focusing on fewer locations.

Proud of you all! “The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.” - James Baldwin

About the Creator

As a dedicated educator, I am committed to providing our students with enriching experiences that ignite their curiosity and creativity. Unfortunately, many of these opportunities are financially out of reach for them. Your support can help bridge that gap, allowing our students to explore, learn, and grow in ways they wouldn't otherwise have the chance to.
