Fact or Fiction?
Father pulls up to school
Kids pile in. Anthony is in ninth grade.
"How was school today, Anthony?"
good.
What did you do?
Oh, I put on a presentation with my partner for black history month.
What was it about?
Oh, the Harlem renaissance
Thats where the blacks escaped the jim crow laws of the south,
and were free to develop their culture in the northern cities.
It happened around 1918 up until the great depression.
My partner played music in the back while I talked.
What kind of music.
Blues and Jazz,
Blues sang how the black slave felt.
Who were some of the people
well, there was Duke Ellington.
What else did you do today?
Oh, I did my Human Geography power point presentation.
How did you do that? was there a computer in the classroom?
Yes, dad, I brought it on my flash drive.
Did you get those 39 defined you were working on last night?
Yes, dad.
