ALTON YWCA Alton will host an Awareness Session at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 6, via Zoom.
The program is made possible by a Healing Illinois grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services. The event will be facilitated by Dr. Jennifer Hernandez, a special ed teacher of 15 years who has primarily taught students with emotional disturbance, mental illness and incarcerated youth in secondary alternative settings.
In the last three years of her tenure in special education, she was a special education administrator in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. She was a witness and student advocate in the aftermath of the murder of Michael Brown.
“In the Walnut Grove: A Consideration of the People Enslaved in and Around Florissant, Missouri” explores the important role enslaved people played in the St. Louis suburb. The book's editor, Andrew J. Theising, discussed it on "St. Louis on the Air."
