Indian Hill students set Black History events

The sound of African drumming and the dramatic performance of The Ghost Of Harriet Tubman will be heard in the halls at Indian Hill High School as students celebrate Black History Month.
The Indian Hill students will join the Tristate in observance of the month that spotlights the achievements of African-Americans. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a scholar and historian, began the recognition 73 years ago with Black History Week. It was expanded to a month in the 1960s.
Students initiated Indian Hill's month-long activities, saying they wanted more significant and meaningful programs than previous years.
“The kids decided (on the events), not the administration; it's what they want,” said assistant principal Kathy Stegbauer. “What we want is for people of all cultures to recognize the contributions of Afri can-Americans and how things would be different without their contributions.”
The Khamisi African Dance Group will demonstrate Afri can dances and music to teach African history and folklore. Students also will see the one-woman show, The Ghost of Harriet Tubman, performed by actress Pat Fann.
An essay contest — “Where Are We on "The Dream?'” — and a trivia contest and poster display also are planned.
