DESCRIPTION
An Atlanta charter school is under fire for conveying blackface masks while reciting a historic African-American poem that symbolizes black oppression. Second-graders on Thursday held up blackface masks in a reading of 19th-century author Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem “We Wear the Mask" as part of the school's black history program, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The performance at The Kindezi School at Old Fourth Ward is now facing criticism from the community and parents who have questioned the masks' context. Posted By Persist
