A White Picket Fence: Lessons To Learn On The Road To Success
This book started out as a letter to Dr. Hull’s grandchildren so that he could give them some advice that could help them on their life’s journey. As he wrote it to them, he began to think about the hundreds of children he encountered as a Teacher and School Principal and he realized that telling his story could potentially help them as well.
This book chronicles Dr. Hull’s early years and demonstrates that humble beginnings do not have to prevent you from dreaming big and achieving your dreams. Over the years, he learned a lot of things that he believes helped to shape and form his life. The book shares some of those lessons with the reader with the hope that they can garner something positive from them. Sure, everyone needs to make their own mistakes, but hopefully the lessons that he shares about his life will help them to better navigate their own personal situations and circumstances. As an educator, he feels compelled to impart as much as he can to add value to the lives of children.

The Black History Bowl "2020" Hindsight Vision African American History Matters: It Is American History
“Where would we be without Black People?” In 1915, Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History located in Washington, D.C. Realizing the importance of the contributions of Black Americans to the foundation and formation of American history, and in some cases, World history, Woodson created Negro History Week in 1926. The purpose of his efforts was to recognize the accomplishments of Black civil rights leaders, scientists, inventors, pioneers, educators, contributors to government, writers, athletes, and entertainers. It was expanded into Black History Month in February 1976. Dr. Woodson chose the month of February as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, whose birthdays are February 12th and 14th respectively.
In recent years, African American History has gained acknowledgment in American culture and history. It is now included in some classroom books and curricula. However, not enough has been done to fully recognize the contributions of African Americans to history. Thus, “The Black History Bowl” was designed and created to continue and expand upon the goal that Carter G. Woodson set out to accomplish; to present a fair and clear picture of the role African Americans have played in American and World History.
