During Black History Month, Sinneh J. Koroma Jr., United South High School assistant principal, spoke to a group of USHS students. Koroma’s theme for this year’s presentation was "African-Americans and the Civil War." In his presentation, Koroma stated that "blacks contributed to the creation of a free nation before they had freedom for themselves."
Koroma also emphasized how important it is for all students to set their goals early in life. Black History Month took shape in 1926 when Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson and other African American and white scholars believed that Americans should reflect on the history and contributions of African Americans.
