The month of February is designated to acknowledge the achievements made by African American people throughout history. To honor Black History Month, Each day, we will recognize a historic figure that has helped society for the better. Today’s person of the day is:
- Alex Haley was best known for his work in depicting the struggles of African Americans through writing. He began writing to help pass the time during his tenure as a part of the U.S. Coast Guard. Haley wrote both “Roots”, a fictionalized account of his own family's history. “Roots” was eventually turned into a TV miniseries and in 1977 became the most watched broadcast in TV history, a title it would hold for years.
Come out Friday night at 7:00 to our very first Mr. Carrboro Pageant. The show will be produced by Student Government and the Brothers Groups and is designed to promote school spirit, showcase student and faculty talent, and celebrate the best moments of Carrboro High School. There will be special guest performances by Mrs. Uzun, Unnecessary Measures and more. Tickets are $5 in advance $7 at the door and will be sold during both lunches.
