The wisdom, the struggles, the joys, and the sorrows -all life experiences of the newest group of 90+ year old African American seniors in Frederick County.  From their segregated one room schools to living to see the 1st Black President elected, their memories are etched in the foundation of the county's history. This class is a follow up to Tale of the Lion and is a mix of lecture, video clips, and student discussion. All are welcome. You do not need to have taken a Tale of the Lion to join or enjoy this class.

Barbara Thompson worked for Frederick County Public Schools for almost 40 years. Because of her interest in her culture and family genealogy, she was often invited to various schools to speak on Black History, that was not typically taught in-depth in FCPS classrooms. Ms. Thompson joined the AARCH Society in 2012. She is the Chairperson of the Living Treasures program and of AARCH Reads, a member of the Education Committee, Growth & Development Committee, Speakers Bureau, and presently serves as the Secretary of the AARCH Society Board of Directors.
