Last month, dozens of students walked out to protest a poster made by another student. A sign was posted among Black History Month celebrations showing President Obama with a diamond stud earring and included the hashtag #gang.
The school district is planning to hire an advocate and recruitment officer. Enrollment of black students has decreased in the recent years.
This is one student's tribute to #BlackHistoryMonth. Black students at Lowell H.S. outraged & offended. #Educate pic.twitter.com/5cXCQF6gp7
