Here is a short but sweet video of a young reader

Here is a short but sweet video of a young reader and learner explaining to us Rosa Park’s legacy, and the impact that she made on the Civil Rights Movement.

WWT is using this video to stress the importance of educating and teaching ourselves and/or others about past history and present events. We can not teach until we have been taught.

We are all a walking conversation. You can contribute to that conversation and teach by getting one of the T-shirt’s that we are offering with powerful quotes written on the back. Be the change that you would like to see in your community and world!

We are continuing to encourage the importance of reading and education by selecting a book each month for community members to read!

This month is Women’s History Month and we have decided to celebrate that by endeavoring to learn more about three African American Women who changed NASA for the better. Join us in reading “Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly. After reading the book, we will host a zoom session entitled “Let’s Talk,” where we will have a collective discussion about what we have learned. This is going to be an exciting yet enlightening adventure that we hope you can participate in! #womenshistorymonth #blackhistory #education #readingisknowledge
