In Honor of Black History Month, The Shared Decision Making Team sponsored the assembly, Anansi Goes Around the Globe at Brookhaven Elementary School. The students learned that this tale originated through the craft of storytelling. The setting of the story is Ghana, West Africa. The story traveled from person to person during the time of slavery. Through storytelling, slaves were able to create a community of strength in a difficult time in their lives and in American History. The students learned the many lessons as Anansi traveled around the Globe and learned many important life lessons.
