At Greater Latrobe High School, there is currently no Black studies course. With having many Black students and families that attend the high school and district, it feels as if Black History is overlooked in the school’s current History regimen. The appropriate answer for this problem would be the implement a new course specifically for Black History. When conversing with multiple Black students that attend Greater Latrobe High School, they have told me that the only time when teachers would reference or teach about Black history was once Black History Month came and then the learning would be over. Another student feels as if everything about Black history at the school is made to feel optional while another student noticed how Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not observed at the school rather it be widely recognized as an Inservice Day. In the 2020-2021 Course Catalog, the courses US History 1 and 2 list many events that the students will be learning over the course of the year, but fail to mention any type of Black history events such as Juneteenth, Tulsa Race Massacre, the Red Summer, or the Colfax Massacre. When teaching, many teachers will also fail to mention people like Angela Davis, Dorothy Height, Sojourner Truth, or Bobby Seale to their students. Without any of these events or people mentioned, how will we as students truly know the history of our country? It is for these reasons and experiences I have heard that I ask you to help us in the goal of acquiring a Black History course at Greater Latrobe High School.
