Black History Program 2024
Monday, February 5th, 5-7pm at THS
On Monday, February 5th, the Twinsburg Council PTA hosted their 2nd annual Black History Month Program at Twinsburg High School. Community vendors displayed their wares in the Commons during the first hour of the program and then all gathered in the auditorium for performances by: Kehlynn Gilmer (daughter of Harrison & Arrione Gilmer of Reminderville), the THS Black History Club, Niles Linson (son of Will & Kimberly Linson of Twinsburg), Rose Kadiri (daughter of Augustine & Alicia Kadiri of Twinsburg), A’Niya Jones (daughter of Brandon & Alyce Jones of Reminderville), Leonce’ Satterwhite, Violet Kadiri (daughter of Augustine & Alicia Kadiri of Twinsburg), students from Ms. Merrin Richardson’s Dance & Fitness class at THS, Gabriel Jones (son of Jamette Jones of Twinsburg), Joseph Ferrell, Rebekah Ferrell, Joshua Ferrell, Rosannah Ferrell, Jeremiah Ferrell, and Ruby Joy Ferrell (children of Jeffrey & Raeshonda Ferrell of Twinsburg). The special guest presenter was THS alum, Class of 2010 Dr. Jalil Mustaffa Bishop. The event was emceed by THS senior Aidan Booker (son of Karl & Cynthia Booker of Twinsburg). This year’s program was a fantastic success and we want to thank Mrs. Holly Wise and the Twinsburg Council PTA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for their hard work and dedication to our school family! We were fortunate that Dennis Suchetka from Community Focus was able to videotape this year’s Black History Program. You can watch the program in its entirety at: https://mycommunityfocus.app/programs/thsblackhistory2024. As always, we appreciate our friends from Community Focus for their continued support!
Our Guest Speaker, Dr. Jalil Mustaffa Bishop, grew up in Twinsburg Heights, Ohio —a 100-year-old working-class Black neighborhood that thrives despite rampant structural racism. His roots in the community shape his lifelong pursuit of racial justice as collective action and material impact. Jalil’s research and advocacy are known for threading intersectional analysis on how racism and anti-racism function across housing, education, workforce development, and policymaking. He aims to always highlight how Black people build lives against and beyond racism—what he refers to as Black lifemaking.
Jalil is a sought-after expert for his national research projects, grassroots policymaking and high-impact evaluations, all coupled with critical lens to understand what justice requires. Throughout his career, he has been a Vice-Provost Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, an Assistant Professor of Education at Villanova University, and a national advocate on college affordability and the Black student debt crisis.

PAWS ON CHILD HUNGER
Currently serving over 240 children throughout every corner of our District, the PAWS on Child Hunger program provides weekend food assistance for Wilcox Primary School, Samuel Bissell Elementary School, George D. Dodge Intermediate School and RB Chamberlin Middle School children who qualify. Students receive a bag of nutritious, kid-friendly food items to take home on Friday afternoons during the school year.
We are asking for your generosity and support of this program by donating through either of the link below:
For the TCSD children the PAWS on Child Hunger program supports, the food they receive at school is sometimes their only access to a full balanced meal and programs like these are the only way to get them through the weekend. Please consider donating so that no Tiger Child goes hungry.
