Students at Carleton Village Public School got to know about prominent African-Canadians Governor General Michaelle Jean, Lincoln MacCauley Alexander, Canada's first black Member of Parliament and hockey player/champion golfer Herb Carnegie as part of a "Sketching History" event.Students in Grade 4 to 8 took part in the workshop, another celebration of Black History Month this February on Tuesday morning.
It was a workshop conducted by three brothers, known as the Blac Ice family. Siblings Anthony and Justin Stanberry and Jermaine Smith started a company eight years ago called Freeze DNA and published the first Canadian black super-hero comic book series called Blac Ice.
Since its publication and the inception of their business, the brothers can take credit for publishing several other children's books in addition to teaching kids across the country how to draw comic art.
