Brooklyn Center Community Schools had an amazing time celebrating Black History Month! From classroom lessons to student showcases, we took time to recognize the people who have fought for freedom, shaped the Civil Rights Movement, and continue to be a model for communities fighting for justice and peace. Holding true to our mission, vision, and values, we are committed to shining a light on the accomplishments of the Black community year round.
