On Tuesday [Feb 20] Paget Primary School will transform their classrooms into Black History Museums celebrating Black Bermudians who have made contributions to the Island, and the school said they “encourage parents, grandparents and the community to come and view the Museums prepared by the teachers and students.”
A spokesperson said, “On Tuesday, February 20th, 2018, from 9 – 11:30 a.m. Paget Primary School will transform the classrooms into Black History Museums celebrating Black Bermudians who have made contributions to Bermuda.
“Each class has studied, researched and will have on hand artifacts of a Black Bermudian [alive or deceased].
“During this time the teachers and students will walk about the school visiting classes to learn about those Bermudians who have and continue to contribute to our history.
“The Minister of Education, the Social Studies Education Officer, several invited guests including Seniors, primary and preschool children will be on campus during this time. We encourage parents, grandparents and the community to come and view the Museums prepared by the teachers and students.
Great stuff!
People without the knowledge of their past is like a tree with roots!
Much better than learning Math
That was very condenscending. After years of generational neglect of social, economic and employment status we still excel in a system that is stacked against us.
Subliminal racism is still alive and well.
That’s not subliminal. It’s straight up racist. Anyone in their right mind knows the importance of Math education Duh. Only those who have lived the struggle will understand and appreciate the importance of their history. Anyone else, well who cares what they think really. Well done Paget! Carry on.
