Social Studies Update 1

In social studies , we are learning about Black History Month. For black history month, we made posters to show very important people that helped earn equal rights. Me and my group decided to pick Jesse Jackson. We picked  Jesse Jackson because we really didn’t know much about him, so we thought it would be more interesting. There was so many interesting facts about Jesse. Did you know that Jesse Jackson ran for president?
