There will be a documentary screening on Feb 18th at Carrboro HS in celebration of Black History Month. "PRINCE AMONG SLAVES"
Prince Among Slaves is a documentary film about an African prince enslaved in America, whose remarkable story of hope during America’s early years presents lessons for today.


Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is Gabby Adams. February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure. 

Henry Louis Gates Jr.-

Boasting a 50 year career in journalism, Henry Louis Gates Jr. has spent his life documenting the African American experience. He is an Emmy-winning filmmaker, a cultural critic, and a literary scholar. He has worked to produce documentaries, essays, and series for PBS, the New Yorker, Time, and the New York Times. As a scholar, he has been groundbreaking- he was a member of the first class of Genius Grant recipients and the first African American to win a National Humanities Medal.
