The main objective of memorializing a ‘special’ Day* is to promote information about the Six named and their outstanding contribution to Humanity – especially for the knowledge of our Youth! ON THAT DAY, a classroom or two of students led by their teacher (…and an invited guest speaker) will participate in a Q & A exchange – and hopefully spend some time later to “google” more data on their smart phones or tablets for inter-active discussions with their PEERS and PARENTS.
All of the 6 named below happen to have African roots, so a cultural ethnic connection allows exemplary good role models for our young to identify with – and gain knowledge beneficial to themselves and their communities.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
