The Center City PCS Petworth campus had two exceptional speakers visit students during Black History Month.

The first speaker was Brian Keith Harris, the author of the bestselling book "I Am My History". Mr. Harris delivered an engaging and inspiring presentation that left a lasting impact on our students. The kids were captivated by his storytelling and powerful message, and it was truly a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Secondly, the Petworth campus had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Willie Mackey Pearl King, one of the last living colleagues of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mrs. King helped pen and publish all of his letters from Birmingham jail.
