My Black History Project

Hello Readers,

I am working on finishing my Black History project today because it is due on Tuesday, February 10, 2009.

After I turn in my project, I have to present my project to the class. I will tell the class I am glad Dr. Charles Drew invented the Blood Bank because it saved my mom's life.

This is my mom's thank you letter Dr. Charles Drew that she is going to put on my project:

I would like to thank Dr. Charles Drew for his invention of the blood bank. I am alive today because of his contribution. Eight years ago, after I gave birth to Aliyah, I had some complications; I had to receive some blood platelets. I want to thank the donor also that gave a contribution to save my life. I am alive today because of the work Dr. Drew did years ago.

I celebrated my 45th birthday last May, I am happy to be 45, but I am sadden because Dr. Charles Drew died at the age of 45. I am truly grateful for his contribution to society.

Because of his work I am an active blood drive donor.

Drew (portrait at left) and the other is going to be about my great grand-mother. This is my 3-D project of Charles Drew. I made an A+ on my project.

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Image
Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/
