Early Tuesday morning, dozens of students at Lincoln Elementary Magnet School lined the stage and gave performances of of influential African Americans during their annual Black History Month performance.
Everyone from Sidney Poitier to Oprah Winfrey made an appearance as the young actors shared brief summaries of their accomplishments while adorned in costumes. In between speeches the group of students would sing and dance before the next group of leaders went to the front of the stage. As each speech was finished the young actor would point toward themselves and say "I am somebody." Each time they finished they were met with thunderous applause.
