 School 11 Chess   ....................................................Happy Diwali!

 Black History Month

The Quality of Life Program in conjunction with School 11 had the honor of welcoming Dr. Jospeh McNeil on February 29, 2013, for an evening of sharing and enlightenment. Dr. McNeil spoke to an audience of all ages in our School 11 auditorium. Afterwards, he graciously stayed to talk to us and allowed us to take pictures with this outstanding hero of the Civil RightsMovement.

On February 1st, 1960 in Greensboro, North Carolina, four A&T freshmen students, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond walked downtown and “sat - in” at the whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth’s. They refused to leave when denied service and stayed until the store closed. The legacy of these four heroes proves the true potential and appeal of nonviolence. It was their protest that became the model and inspiration for later civil rights, anti-war and women’s liberations movements. These four young men forever changed the course of history by their bravery and courage.
