To the dedicated, passionate students who brought us together to celebrate Black History Month in such a moving and beautiful way, take a bow! And finally, thank you to Dr. Jametta Clarke, the driving force behind this spectacular annual event, who together with her team brought this vision to life once again. If you weren't able to join us, make sure you catch it on LTPSRewind when it becomes available! #CelebrateEducateElevate
