During library time, York Prep's Kindergarten and 1st grade students have been learning about great heroes of black history. Reading about Harriet Tubman, the students learned that communication and secrets were often sewn into quilts or blankets. Students worked hard creating unique patterns and then joining them together to make a class quilt.

York Preparatory Academy will be celebrating Black History Month throughout February honoring men and women for their impact and legacy. Today we honor Lewis Howard Latimer for his contributions towards engineering and the creation of the telephone and light bulb. Escaping from slavery with his family at age 6, Lewis Howard Latimer taught himself drafting and worked side by side with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell leading to many engineering breakthroughs. In 1890, he went on to publish a book entitled, "Incandescent Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison System."
