Enhance Black History Month with a twenty-page resource designed to boost scholars' knowledge of the great accomplishments made by African Americans. Learners take in fun facts about famous inventors such as George Washington Carver and Marie Van Brittan Brown; they discover the bravery of Rosa Parks, the background of the slave trade, and the abolition of slavery. Writing prompts ask pupils to step into the shoes of Rosa Parks and spotlight today's famous African Americans. Prompts bring about discussions focusing on George Washington Carver and Rosa Parks.
