Antoine struggles at reading and completing his work. He is frustrated that reading is hard for him, but easy for the other students in his class. One day, his teacher, Mr. Banner, makes him stay in the classroom at lunch. He thinks he is in trouble, but to his surprise, Mr. Banner wants to help him become a better reader. Through hard work, Antoine becomes a better reader and proud of himself.

Mr. Banner introduces Black History Month to the class by presenting as Carter G. Woodson. All of Antoine''s classmates immediately decide which African American they want to present. Antoine takes awhile to decide on the African American that inspires his every day life. Friday is the presentation day and a very exciting day.
