Long Middle annually holds an art exhibit in celebration of Black History Month. Under the guidance of Principal Dr. Elizabeth Harris, students get a chance to see a range of African items on display — often provided by school staff, “that is reflective of our culture,” she says. “Each year, it grows more and more and more.”
One eighth-grader was particularly impressed with the display: “These are very unique pieces of artwork. I like it because they have a very unique design of animals, like zebra and giraffe, type of design.”
Check out the video above as the staff showcases the works, and the students get a chance to experience them.
