Star reporters are asking Steinmetz students and staff to share their Black History Month heroes with us. If you want to contribute to this feature, please comment at the end of this article. You may also meet with a Star reporter in Room 333 – during Newspaper Club lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after school on Wednesdays, or in Journalism class everyday, 8th period.

We suggest readers read our 2015 Black History Month feature, in which students researched famous Black Chicagoans.
