Thanks for the history lesson. I had my 11 year old doing book reports during black history month and I’ve decided to extend it since he enjoyed it so much. I will have to add Dr.Rebecca Lee Crumpler to the list.
Thank you so much!!!!!! I will continue to share more history and other relevant information!
