Motivational Boys Group Black History Month Assembly

Our Motivational Boys Group demonstrated many qualities today (15th October 2018) when they lead an assembly prepared by them, on inspirational figures throughout history, focusing on people from Black and African heritage. The boys used their skills and lead the assembly discussing many influential candidates and people who were born to inspire the world. Mr Matvad has set a task for every student, to comment on this web-page saying who their inspirational person is and why. Here is an example:

Nelson Mandela is my inspiration because not only did he free South Africa but also freed the whole world!

Zakariya Matvad - 4K - There are so many amazing and different influential people throughout the world who made a difference, however I would like to nominate, Olaudah Equiano, who worked hard to abolish slavery, this starting the freedom of every man and woman on the face of the earth. He taught us that no matter what obstacles lie ahead, there is always a solution and in addition it is never too late to learn.

Matilda 5F - I see that everyone has done who inspires them based on what they saw/heard in assembly
The black people in the world have all done amazing things.
But the person who inspires me most is Wangari Maathai (she might not sound real but she is search her!) She was an amazing girl she lived in Kenya and went to school even though only boy were supposed to go. Wangari was rewarded a degree in biology and the sience in living things but when she returned home many trees in Kenya had been cut down by loggers she sarted the green belt movement to cover Kenya in trees and wildlife again.
In 2004 she won a Nobel Peace Prize. Now in Kenya the tree is a symbol of peace.
Wangari helped the world and her community. Now I have finshed.

Kamden 4K - Kobe Bryant inspired me because he was a good basketball player and makes me want to play better. George Washington also inspires to invent different things.
It was a really educational assembly!

Aoife 5M - One black woman I really admire is Harriet Tubman because she showed such strength and bravery. One day when Harriet was standing out side out side a shop she saw a black slave running away from a white man who was running after him shouting "come back slave." At that time Harriet was 12 and enslaved as well . She wanted to help the slave and hoped he would escape. Just then another member of the public hurled an iron object at the slave. The object narrowly missed the slave but hit Harriet on the head. She was badly injured but her thick hair cushioned the blow enough to save her life. A few years later the family who owned her put her up for sale so Harriet decided to escape. She hid during the day and travelled by night. When she crossed the border into Pennsylvania she realised that for the first time in her life she was free. She thought about the runaway slave and her family in Maryland who were still enslaved. Harriet knew she had to help them. Over the next 11 years she went back 19 times and rescued hundreds of enslaved people. She was never captured and never lost a single woman. What an achievement!

Nicholas 3p - The one that inspired me the most is George Washington carver because I can't believe that he made all that high quality stuff out of sweet potatoes he must be a magician or he is a magnificent scientist

Jessey-6M - For me personally, David Blackwell inspired me because he is a mathematician who made many important contributions in game theory. He inspired me because he is also a pioneer in textbooks.Also he did not let being rejected by the IAS stop him from being a mathematician.

Yusuf 6s - what inspired me is the boxer because the more you train the better you get and the more you fight well the more belts you get for
example,the world heavyweight belt.

Ramtu (left 2018) - The person who inspired me is Rosa Parks for not giving up her seat to a white man on the bus and she did this for the future for black people.

Angel 5M - I love all people but if I had to pick i would pick rosa parks not only she help free black people but she was able to be the first ever lady to stand up for civil rights and not only was able to free black people she was also able to make everyone one feel equal and make people feel good in their own race and skin colour . She tried really hard and even suffered in jail for us to have equal rights. She has also made so many poem for example you must never be fearful about what you are doing when what you are doing is right. And thats why I think rosa parks is not best person who freed black people but tried their hardest
