Fifth-graders from Richmond’s Carver Elementary School join Principal Kiwana S. Yates and teachers around an indoor fountain at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington. The students also visited the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which hosted the Feb. 22 trip in partnership with The New Y-CAPP, Youth Challenged Advised & Positively Promoted. At the foundation, they learned about efforts to advance the global black community and the separate work of members of the Congressional Black Caucus. The goal of the trip: To enable the students to gain a better understanding of the contributions of African-Americans.
