Black Excellence - MMSD

Our young, Black and gifted girls get to meet 👑Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa today during a live, inspirational conversation brought to MMSD youth by Black Girl Magic Conference. Another beautiful opportunity for MMSD students to connect with exceptional Black women! ❤️

Did you know that four MMSD schools are named for Black Madisonians who were trailblazers in Madison’s civil rights and education communities and instrumental in dismantling systemic racism in this city? ✊🏿

Join us Thursday at 6pm as we explore the stories behind how James C. Wright Middle School, Velma Hamilton Middle, Henderson Elementary School and Milele Chikasa Anana Elementary (formerly known as Falk Elementary School) were named. You won’t want to miss this special virtual discussion right here on the MMSD Black Excellence FB page.
