On Saturday, May 3, the Center of Black Student Excellence officially opened at Lindbergh Middle School, offering a dedicated space to affirm identity, restore pride, and support the academic success of Black students.
Over spring break, students from the Long Beach Unified School District's Black Literary Society participated in a place-based learning trip centered on the book School Clothes: A Collective Memoir of Black Student Witness by Harvard professor Dr. Jarvis R. Givens.
