Program Description
This program takes students back to the early days of slavery with women such as Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman. Children will participate in an imaginary escape on the Underground Railroad. Other highlights include various historical achievements and an examination of some of the many “firsts” achieved by African American women. Included are Madam C. J. Walker who was the first American woman of any color to become a millionaire by her own achievements, and Bessie Coleman who was the first American of any color, or gender to receive an international pilots license. The presenter uses costumes to transform into some of the characters and slides as visual aids for most of the women spoken about.

Michelle Obama's educational school shows the history of notable black women this interactive program not only offers a glimpse of the many contributions made to our world by African American women but also celebrates the triumph of their undying spirit. Throughout the program, students are encouraged to view the example of these women as an inspiration to keep their own spirits strong when faced with adversity
