Cayden James, a sixth grader at Booker T. Washington K-8 School and three-sport athlete, has a list of Black athletes who inspire him: Jackie Robinson, Bo Jackson, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders.
He’s put together lessons about those athletes, which he’ll share with fellow Birmingham area students this week during Alabama Heroes and Changemakers, a two-part Black History Month program, on Feb. 26 and 28 from 4-5:30 pm at the Titusville Library.
Jamareé Collins, executive director of I Am Greatness, a nonprofit program helping Birmingham youth learn life skills through volunteer work and community workshops, said the program will feature Birmingham youth and community members who will teach lessons about Black historical changemakers and the history of Titusville.
