A Few Clouds A Black History Month lesson at BPL
Posted
In celebration of Black History Month, which runs all of February, children at Baldwin Public Library learned about James Banning, the first African-American pilot to fly across the United States.
Children's Librarian Jason VonButtgereit read “The Hallelujah Flight” by Phil Bildner aloud to the group of children on Feb. 20. From there, kids made a clothespin airplane to resemble the aircraft that Banning used during his history-making journey in 1932 when he flew from Los Angeles to Long Island.
