Dorothy Butler, a retired third grade teacher and former School Board member, returned to Rappahannock County Elementary School last Tuesday to talk to the fifth grade classes about Black History.
She brought a series of prints illustrating Black History from slave auctions to the successes of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. She showed the prints to the four sections of fifth grade gathered in Margaret Lee’s classroom and talked with them about how they would feel if they were in the situations illustrated.
She also had a crossword puzzle for them to work on about the contributions of black ministers and a timeline of dates and events in Black History.
Mrs. Butler said Black History Month grew out of Negro History Week, which for many black youngsters was the first time they ever saw in their school books “anybody that looks like me.”
The fifth grade classes got to feast on a beautiful sheet cake made by Charde Ferguson’s mom showing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. making his “I Have a Dream” speach.
