Today, Speaker Pelosi and Members of Congress were joined by First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to unveil a bust by sculptor Artis Lane of Sojourner Truth. The bust is the first sculpture to honor an African American woman in the US Capitol and was donated by the National Congress of Black Women.
Watch students at the Ron Clark Academy perform their tribute to Sojourner Truth.

RB,
I suspect that you are a white, rhythmless piece of trash who is absolutely ignorant of these children's academic accomplishment .They chose to express the tribute in tasteful dance and song and did a masterful and enjoyable job of it as evidenced by the crowd reaction.They are a multi-talented group of young people so keep your narrow, mean-spirited thoughts to your self and learn to appreciate rich, black culture...if you can!

Is that the best you can come up with? They didn't PRACTICE enough?????
These kids, on a moment's notice, came up with a tribute to Sojourner Truth and had about 2 weeks to get ready for the performance all while keeping up with studies and homework to maintain their above-grade level test scores and above-average grades.
They "dance with everything they do" so that as many students as possible can participate.
They are great, talented kids and you need to get over yourself!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Nice thought for a tribute, but you guys REALLY SHOULD HAVE PRACTICED MORE before you went on stage. I guess you're spread too thin.
Is it a requirement for your guys to dance with everything that you do?? Your performance might have been a little better if you would have eliminated that portion
I hope you're still finding time to study.

In the future PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

Great job, Ron Clark Academy! As a neighbor of the school and as a person who has witnessed first-hand what this school has done for the students and residents of the Lakewood community, this is what happens when the parents, school and students all work together toward a common goal. If we could only see more schools adopt this philosophy and actually apply it, as we don't see this often in inner-cities/metro areas.
Again, great work students!
