Another activity that takes place in the mornings would be an art activity. The children have had four birthday celebrations since I have been interning at the Rose Kindergarten.

From first contact‚ social stigma and power relations subjugated the race to extremely harsh living conditions. This systematic mistreatment of African-Americans continued for over 300 years‚ until they operationalized political movements and used their independent and unique agency to overcome the hardships.
