This is also a good resource for parents as well. Stop complaining about what the schools are not teaching your children. These ready-to-use lessons plans and activities will teach your children about African American History year-round. Please do not say the resources are not there for you and your family to find considering we have technological inventions outside of Facebook and Google that will provide links to many educational books, journals, and sites. This is your opportunity to add or correct what’s being taught or not taught in the classroom.

For example: You can teach your child(ren) about a letter that was written to Congress about Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama in 1965 and how Mrs. Jackson was in another part of the country, but her outrage or sadness about the events that happened that day was expressed in her letter. It shows a copy of the letter and what she wrote along with teaching your child(ren) about the march for Civil Rights, the struggle for equal voting rights by teaching your child(ren) effective document analysis as well.

Africa / African American History Books
