Fourth graders at Clemmons Elementary School spent Friday morning bringing history to life with their Black History Wax Museum. Visitors roamed the cafeteria and spoke with costumed characters to learn more about famous Black scientists, artists, athletes, activists, and other trailblazers. Students who made projects for the wax museum felt like they came away with a better appreciation of how the historical figures they researched took initiative to enrich their communities, as well as how they can make a difference themselves.

"History helps us figure out what to do in the future," said Fourth Grader Emma Peek, whose project was on Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space. "It helps us understand what's important."
