Article | How to help your child keep their greatness in sight while they study the greatness of influential leaders during black history month

"During Black History Month, many children take part in various events to celebrate the month. Whether they recite a speech by their favorite leader, actor, philanthropist, or read about their favorite leaders in textbooks. However, there’s someone else your child should remember to celebrate too...themself.
