February Is Black History Month

Elijah McCoy (1843-1929)

Elijah McCoy was born in Colchester, Ontario in 1843. His parents were escaped slaves who made it to Canada from Kentucky via the Underground Railroad.

The family relocated to the U.S. and settled near Ypsilanti, Michigan. Young Elijah McCoy developed a penchant for mechanical engineering and, unable to acquire the necessary training in the U.S., he left for Scotland to work as an apprentice in mechanical engineering. Returning to the U.S. as a certified engineer, he was unable to get a job in his field and had to settle for a menial job as a fireman on the Michigan Central Railroad.

Part of the fireman's duties involved oiling the train's many parts at frequent intervals, with the train having to stop for this operation. McCoy sought to develop a solution to this problem. In 1872, he applied for a patent for his "lubricating cup", which "provides for the continuous flow of oil on gears and other moving parts of a machine in order to keep it lubricated properly and continuously and thereby do away with the necessity to shut down the machinery periodically".

Concerned initially with the lubrication of stationary engines, McCoy continued with his ultimate goal to lubricate the machines while they were in operation. Eventually, no heavy duty machinery was without his automatic oiling devices and the term the "real McCoy" became linked with the pioneering achievement of Elijah McCoy.

Maya Angelou

(1928-) Novelist, Poet

Born Marguerite Johnson, Maya Angelou spent her formative years shuttling between St. Louis, Missouri, a tiny, totally segregated town in Arkansas, and San Francisco where she realized her ambition of becoming that city's first black streetcar conductor.

During the 1950s, she studied dancing with Pearl Primus in New York, later appearing as a nightclub singer in New York and San Francisco. She worked as an editor for The Arab Observer, an English-language weekly published in Cairo; lived in Accra, Ghana, where under the black nationalist regime of Kwame Nkrumah she taught music and drama; and studied cinematography in Sweden. She became a national celebrity in 1970 with the publication of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the first volume of her autobiography, which detailed her encounters with southern racism and a rape by her mother's lover.

Franklin Military Academy 701 North 37th Street Richmond, Virginia 23223 Telephone (804) 780-8526 Fax (804) 780-8054 Office of The Principal

In 1971 she produced Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie: The Poetry of Maya Angelou; in 1975, Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well; in 1979, And Still I Rise; and in 1983, Shaker Why Don't You Sing? In 1977, she was nominated for an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Nyo Boto in the television adaptation of the best-selling novel Roots.

Three more volumes of her autobiography have been published: Gather Together in My Name (1974), Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas (1976), and The Heart of a Woman (1981). In 1986, All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes was published. Angelou's other works include Mrs. Flowers: A Moment of Friendship, and Now Sheba Sings the Song.

On January 20, 1993, Angelou read her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," during the inauguration of President Bill Clinton. Because of her moving literary works and devotion to the power of expression, Maya Angelou was awarded the NAACP's Spingarn Medal in 1993 and the first Medal of Dist inction from the University of Hawaii Board of Regents in 1994.

Angelou, with her booming laughter and deep rhythmic voice, has always been a symbol of strength and leadership for the plight of women and the underprivileged. She was named keynote speaker for the Chicago Foundation for Women in 1994. In September 1996, Angelou and Camille Cosby joined to help African American women chart new directions in their lives with a $30 million dollar fund raising campaign for the National Council of Negro Women.

In 1995, Angelou starred in the film How to Make an American Quilt with Winona Ryder and Ellen Burstyn. She also delivered her poem "A Brave and Startling Truth" at the United Nations 50th birthday bash in San Francisco. Angelou contributed short stories to the HBO program America's Dream, which aired during Black History Month in 1996 and collaborated with musicians Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson on their 1996 release Been Found. She also wrote the lyrics to the musical King, which premiered in Washington DC on January 19, 1997 as part of the inaugural festivities for President Bill Clinton. In 1998, she directed a motion picture entitled Down in the Delta. The film focused on a woman from Chicago who traveled to Mississippi to locate her African-American roots.

Angelou continued to publish new works and to remain in the public eye in the early 2000s. In 2004, she published Hallelujah! The Welcome Table: A Lifetime of Memories and Recipes, a cookbook which included many autobiographical anecdotes related to food in her life. Bookseller called it "a joy to read." A year later, Angelou composed an anti-war poem, "Amazing Peace," for the White House Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Like "On the Pulse of Morning," "Amazing Peace" was published in book form and became a best- seller. In 2006, Angelou launched a career in a new medium when she began hosting an inspirational show on the "Oprah and Friends" channel for XM Satellite Radio.

Fluent in French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, and Fanti, a language of southern Ghana, Angelou is a popular lecturer and tours throughout the United States.

TIPS OF THE WEEK

Accommodating students within the classroom can be 1. Break tasks into smaller steps. For independent work time, post a to-do list on the student’s desk (in words or pictures) of the big tasks that need to be completed. The student can complete them and cross out each task.

2. Extend time on tasks. Slowly increase the time allotted for certain tasks, or allow the student to take a test in parts–one part on the first day, the second part on the next.

3. Reduce the amount of information on a page. Adequate white space and a clean, distraction-free layout can make an assignment seem less confusing. Copy segments of an assignment onto different pages to increase white space. Students can also hold index cards or word windows on the page to limit information as they read.

4. Assign and prepare peer tutors. It can be difficult for a general education teacher to work individually with children with disabilities while also meeting the needs of the whole class. To provide additional support, peers without disabilities can be taught how to provide extra help for their classmates. Peer tutoring not only provides increased practice and reinforcement for students with disabilities, but also promotes stronger social skills for all students and encourages friendships.

5. Use guided notes. Develop handouts to help students take notes. Create an outline of the lesson and replace key terms and facts with blanks that students can fill in as they listen to your presentation.
