For the month of February Jabari Hakeem had his residents at the University Towers participate in Black History Month. For every room in the Towers their are two residents and on every door their is a note which reads, “I am.”
“I want my residents to gain self-knowledge from this program, what I want is for them to basically write a description of themselves,” said Jabari. “Two words Dr. Martin Luther King used to exaggerate in his speeches were I am, I am somebody, I am God’s child, I am soul power, I am black power and from that I just want the residents to build self confidence so that every time that they look at they’re doors its like they’re looking at themselves.”
Great way to go about Black History Month!
