DECATUR-- Today is the day that the History Makers go to school. The History Makers is a Chicago-based repository of interviews with African-Americans who made a difference, and many of those who are still alive will be visiting schools around the country today as part of the third annual Back to School with the History Makers program. Schools in Chicago, Springfield and Decatur will be visited by history makers…
Howard Brookins Sr. will visit two schools in Springfield. He says it’s important for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to meet those who’ve been successful.
