Black History Study (BHS) Education Program
The Spady Cultural Heritage Museum welcomes a new class of students back to its Black History Study (BHS) Education Program, a 7-month curriculum and cultural immersion program for local middle school and high school students AND adults.
Following its initial success, which was covered by the Associated Press, the second season of the Black History Education Program will feature an even more interactive and comprehensive curriculum, created by Brian Knowles, president of Power Builders, LLC.
During the first season, Knowles taught an interactive class centered on the seismic impact of hip-hop music, not only as a form of Black resistance and joy, but also as a global game-changer in musical production.
The upcoming curriculum is designed to “meet young people where they are,” employing modern story-telling and technology to explain how the descendants of the African Diaspora, Americans of Color, and America as a country came to arrive where they are now.
Interested in learning about the history of Black culture and people — from their African origins to their global influence? Then register for your spot at the front of the class today.
