A group of nine female Babb Middle School students stood before a parent assembly at the school on Monday night and, one by one, recited quotes from famous African-American women like Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey.
The school's seventh-grade dance students then performed the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's "Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham" dance routine.
