LEAD Public Schools

The program begins with a performance of the Negro National Anthem and continues with an African tribal dance. Throughout the hour-and-a-half long tribute, students will honor the legacies of pioneers, inventors and entertainers from the Black community.

“The goal for putting on this program is for students to showcase their talents, as well as their culture,” said Donyelle Townsend, one of the faculty advisers along with colleagues Christina Desnoyers and Denise Lowe. “The experience has been great. Our students are very passionate and always stand up for the things they believe in. For that, we are very proud.”
