Asbury Park Middle School Visits Martin Luther King Jr Memorial

Asbury Park Middle School students visited Martin Luther King Jr Memorial.

The celebration of African American History reached new heights at Asbury Park Middle School on February 26, 2013. On that day Tara L. Williams and Valerie Frage, members of the Black History Month Committee of The Monmouth Vicinage’s Superior Court of New Jersey, came to see Mr. Wronko’s and Mr. Williams’s social studies classes present power point and oral presentations on historical figures in African American History. For instance, students presented biographies on James Forten, Marie Therese Metoyer, Crispus Attucks, Prince Hall, Salem Poor, Rosa Parks, and Thurgood Marshall.

This celebration of African American History peaked on July 30, 2013 with Asbury Park Middle School’s student Nicholas Baldwin. Nicholas Baldwin had the honor of closing the celebration of African American History for the 2012-2013 school year with his presentation about Martin Luther King Jr. This presentation took place at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial in Washington D.C.
