Students Celebrate International Women’s History Month By Dorian Hill
Editor-in-Chief, Bronzeville Campus During the month of March, we like to take the time out to recognize all the women who have made and shaped history. Womens History month has been recognized in the United States since 1987. Women’s History Month is not only celebrated in the United States but also in the United Kingdom and in Australia. However it is not celebrated in march everywhere, in Canada, Women’s History Month is celebrated in October. Believe it or not women have done so much to help make this world a better place. Just this past year here in the United States, we elected our first ever African and South Asian American female Vice-President. In the UK Queen Elizabeth has been on the throne for 70 years, which is quite a remarkable feat. Urban Prep students recognize the contributions of the amazing women who work everyday to help ensure that we are successful.
