👉🏾 “I have had many personal experiences such as being pointed to and laughed at when the history teacher was talking about slavery, segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement. My Gold Award project goals were to help grow the minds of teenagers that have a mental block about learning about other cultures’ histories and to push the education system to add more African American history lessons.” After noticing the lack of Black history education in her school’s history classes, Girl Scout Asia decided it was time for change. For her #gsGoldAward, she created “In the Eyes of a Minority,” a series of workshop lessons about African American history that were held during lunch periods and over her school’s morning announcements during Black History Month. It was so well received that it inspired her school’s student body association to continue the series during upcoming Black History Months. Amazing work, Asia! 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽 #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #IAmAGirlScout
