Schedule of Events for Black History
Month, 2005
Monday, January 31st. All
That Jazz!
- Our own NCHS Jazz Band will perform during each of
the three lunch periods in Cafe 53! Since Jazz is a musical style
developed originally within the African American culture it is appropriate
to kick off our events with this special focus on JAZZ!
Monday, February 7th. African
American Read In.
- Sometime during the day, individuals or
small groups should take time to READ something written by an
African American author or poet. Lists of
recommended titles and authors are available on this site and
others! Check out the NCHS
Library's catalog for quick-at-hand materials!
- During each lunch hour stop by Cafe 53 to
hear our Speech Team Members bring African American Literature
Alive! with thirty minutes of oral interpretation.
Monday, February 14th.
Harriet Tubman Visits NCHS.
- During 7th hour, we are honored to host guest lecturer Harriet Tubman

in the U.S. Don't forget to sign up to bring a class to visit
with her too! (Contact
