Daniel Hale Williams was a pioneering surgeon best known for performing one of the world’s first successful open-heart surgeries in 1893. He founded Provident Hospital in Chicago, the first Black-owned and operated hospital in the U.S., which also trained Black nurses and doctors at a time when many medical institutions barred African Americans.
Williams was a trailblazer in sterile surgical techniques, significantly improving patient survival rates. He later became a member of the American College of Surgeons, one of the first Black physicians to do so. His contributions greatly advanced both medicine and racial equality in healthcare.
Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
Our bus drivers do so much more than just drive—they ensure students arrive safely, greet them with a smile, and help start and end their day on a positive note. They are caretakers, mentors, and everyday heroes on the road!
Take a moment today to thank your bus driver for their dedication and hard work. #ThankABusDriver #SHHSEaglePride
Today, we had the honor of hosting Commander Anthony Mumford and Vice Commander James Jones, Jr. from the NABVETS (National Association for Black Veterans). They shared their military experiences, life journeys and highlighted the ways NABVETS supports local veterans. It was an engaging discussion moderated by our MJROTC Platoon Leader, Cadet Staff Sergeant Matthew St. Pierre, that provided valuable insights for our students. #BlackHistoryMonth #AfricanAmericansandLabor

The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, also known as the "Six Triple Eight," was an all-Black, all-female unit in the U.S. Army Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. It was the first and only unit of its kind and was led by Major Charity Adams Earley, the first Black woman to become an officer in the WAC.
Their mission was to clear a massive backlog of undelivered mail—millions of letters and packages—to U.S. troops in Europe. Facing racism, sexism, and harsh working conditions, the women of the 6888th worked around the clock in England and France, ensuring that soldiers received much-needed morale-boosting mail from home. Their motto was "No Mail, Low Morale."
In 2022, they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their service and contributions.

An HBCU (Historically Black College or University) is a college or university that was established before 1964 with the primary mission of educating Black Americans. These institutions were founded during a time when racial segregation prevented Black students from attending most predominantly white institutions (PWIs).
Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, the oldest HBCU in the United States, was founded in 1837 by Richard Humphreys, a wealthy Quaker philanthropist. He established the school with a $10,000 endowment to provide education and training for African Americans. Originally named the Institute for Colored Youth (ICY), the school focused on preparing Black students for teaching and other skilled professions.
Over the years, it evolved into Cheyney University and became a public university in Pennsylvania’s state system. It remains a significant institution in HBCU history and African American education.
While HBCUs were originally created for Black students, they are open to students of all races today. Many offer strong academic programs, particularly in STEM, business, and the arts.

Keeping up with our exploration of African Americans and Labor, Garrett Morgan was an inventor and entrepreneur known for his three-way traffic signal and gas mask. In 1923 he created a three-position signal to improve road safety which became the basis for modern traffic lights. He later sold the patent to General Electric. He also invented the safety hood, a precursor to gas masks used by firefighters and rescue workers in World War I. Morgan was also a successful businessman and advocate for the rights of black people.
