The month of February is Black History Month. Social Studies teachers will be sharing African-American "firsts" in all their classes during the week of February 20th.
Some amazing facts I discovered this year are:
- Jan Ernst Matzeliger invented the Shoe Lasting mashine, which connected the upper part of the shoe to the sole, a painsaking process that was usually done by hand.
-Joseph Winters invented a fire escape ladder in 1878.
What are some other amazing things you've learned about Black History this month?
Welcome to CHS Counselors' Corner! We are excited about using this format to answer questions and get information out to the community.
