This past Compton Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting, Board Members unanimously passed a resolution recognizing the month of February, 2018 as Black History Month. More importantly, the Board, through the Resolution, called on all schools to commemorate the month by incorporating in instructional activities, the recognition of the contributions of African Americans. But why do this EVERY year? Doesn’t Black History Month automatically take place every year in February? Why spend time on a formal resolution stating such? CUSD Superintendent Dr. Darin Brawley answers this important question in his latest blog post.
