The Museum of Science and History cele­brated black history on Saturday by sharing it with children durng a daylong event to help them absorb cultural history

“Its imperative to teach kids diversity and ~uiturai understanding especiallY at ~ucn a young age~’ said Jacquelvn Reese, education program coordinator at the downtown lack­sonville museum.

There were African-insoired arts and

crafts, choir performances, and an exhibit on the Tuskegee Airmen to teach black history to the children.

Volunteer Natalia Gallimore read stories based on African fables to young children.

As she read The Leopard~s Drum, a story filled with jungle animals, the kids kept inter­rupting her, asking questions about the story.

Gallimore was glad they were listening. ‘It’s really good for these kids to hear all these different views at this age, before they form their own opinions” she said.

“For them to see strong, pow­erful women that look like them,

it’s important,” she said.

Darnetta Johnson, an 8-year-old member of Troop 296, said she liked hearing about Rosa Parks.

“She didn’t think the rules

should be that way, so she didn’t

want to get up,” Johnson said.

Other children said they think it’s important to celebrate Black History Month because they feel they owe a lot to black historical figures.

“I think we need to remember people like Martin Luther King because they died so we could have our freedom today,” said Julia Robinson, 12.
