African-American Heritage Camp

African-American Heritage Camp - Michigan
"African-American Camp is open to children entering kindergarten through 6th grade in the fall. It is designed to include African-American, bi-racial children and interested siblings. This year, our 10 African American campers set our to learn, understand and celebrate their historical backgrounds and ancestors. Campers explored the accomplishments of African Americans by delving into such topics as the Civil War and the Civil Rights era. Guest speakers and coordinators Carol Lubs and Amanda Clark also helped the children to acknowledge when racism is taking place, as well as to take pride in them-selves. "
