Celebrating Black History Month

In recognition of Black History Month, Whitfield’s Black Student Union (BSU) planned a special all-school assembly that was held Tuesday, February 28, 2023. Members of BSU shared original poetry, works by Black poets, narrative readings by Black influencers, and recognition of the contributions of a number of Black St. Louisans.  Additional highlights include a student-created video and the Upper School Choir singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The program concluded with a celebration of the significance of dance to Black history and culture. In a community dance lesson, members of BSU taught two line dances: the Wobble and the Cupid Shuffle.
