WASHINGTON — This year is a leap year, which means there is a bonus day of Black History Month, and that is worth celebrating.
Recently, the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Northwest D.C., the nation's first high school for African American students, honored the Kwanzaa principle of creativity. They expressed this through individuality and innovation by showcasing the creativity of its student artists.
The newly dedicated, Kuumba Hall is adorned with the beautiful artwork of students. The home of the Crimson Tide is still making Black history every day.
In addition, when talking about Black history we can't forget to give a shoutout to Cedar Tree Academy in Southeast D.C. The students there included WUSA9's Allison Seymour as part of their celebration, and she says she is honored by the recognition.
