Q: What was it like meeting kids from New Zealand? A: It was a lot of fun. Everyone was so interesting and it was great getting to learn about their culture and all that comes with it. We spent a lot of time together and it was an amazing experience. Plus the group of us are planning on attempting a trip to New Zealand in upcoming times, so we will see how that goes. Q: What kinds of things did you do while you were in D.C.? A: Well, we walked a lot. We visited so many memorials and did little lessons on them. Went to museums and ate at a lot of new places. We took a tour through the capital and the White house and that was so crazy. Its one thing to learn things in a history class but to be able to see these things in person was a whole new experience. Overall I think we all tried some new and fun things. Q: Will you keep in touch with the Logan Park students? A: We all exchanged social media and have been keeping up with everything like that so yeah I think we will all keep in touch. Plus we have to keep the snap streaks going!!

The movie was about African American's fight for equality during the 1960's involving NASA and the African American workers and their respective roles. You can check out the trailer of the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wfrDhgUMGI Ryan Covacks, FFA Teacher
The FFA program at Southside High school covers the New Farmers of America during the Black History Month of February. The New Farmers of America (NFA) was an American youth organization of African-American farm boys studying agriculture in public schools throughout 18 states in the eastern and southern United states. The NFA started in 1927 in the state of Virginia, and merged in 1965 with the Future Farmers of America organization. Until 1935, all NFA associations were known only by the name of each respective state. In August 1935, representatives from all New Farmer state associations met in Tuskegee and formed the National Organization of New Farmers of America with a tentative constitution and by-laws. Timothy Ratliff, American History Teacher I have a discussion board in my American History 2 classes where students read an article comparing and contrasting Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. The article focuses on their competing strategies on how to deal with the racist Jim Crow laws and segregation in the South as well as De Facto segregation in the North. Students then have to write a post arguing which strategy African American leaders of today should use in tackling issues such as income inequality, police shootings, etc. and then read another student's post and comment on it.
