Black History Month: Celebrating Black Excellence

In celebration of Black History Month, DMSF is conducting a variety of programming activities for both Scholars and staff.
​
On February 24, Murphy Scholars will view and discuss The Prep School Negro an autobiographical film by Andre Robert Lee. Lee recounts his youth as the son of a Black garment factory worker who received a scholarship at the age of 14 to attend a predominantly white prep school outside of Philadelphia. We will also host a Black History Month trivia night on Saturday, February 27. 

On February 26, the DMSF staff will discuss The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. The #1 New York Times Bestseller and A Good Morning America Book Club Pick novel is about twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds.
