MCAMO Artist b-jAXON to Display at Hanna Ranch Elementary Black History Month Celebration 2012

Hanna Ranch Elementary School second grade teacher and Hercules Woman of the Year Sarah Creeley's class will present a Black History Month Celebration featuring Original art work by MCAMO artist b-jAXON.

The Class Celebration will present a student vocal performance, short play, and reflections of: Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Matthew Henson, Ida B. Wells, Willie Mays, Fredrick Douglass, Constance Motley Baker, Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine and more... 

"Learning the stories of people like Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine, (Thank you,
Channel 9), has been inspiring for me. Knowing people's stories, and sharing that knowledge with children, is more than a "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" approach. All of these stories about people who worked for positive change for our country and equality for all people, is powerful and informative in understanding our American history. I believe that we need to keep learning about the many people who struggled and fought for needed change, in our history and hopefully their stories, which will always be relevant, will inspire us to move to action to make our country better than it is". -Sarah Creeley
