I’ll Make Me a World Education Day

“We gather to honor a culture rich with pride, hope, resilience and joy.

Friday, Feb. 25 was the 24th annual I’ll Make Me a World in Iowa Education Day. Students from around the state came together virtually to connect and learn more about African American history. This event had more than 30 students attend with an encouraging message to make your voice heard and no dream is too great. The celebration continues into Saturday, February 26, 2022, 11AM–4:00PM with headliner Michelle Williams. More details here.

We gather to honor those who have toiled and paved the way and those that now push powerfully forward. We gather to lift spirits and touch hearts. We gather to remember, to share, and to educate. We have made our world in Iowa and we gather to celebrate.”
