My Project

Students taking History will use excerpts of this book as a warm-up on a daily basis.

Students will gain exposure to highly esteemed African American historians who focus on African American history.

By examining their works in this book, as well as, supplemental material, students will gain understanding about history through the lens of an African American.

In addition to exploring their knowledge on the subject, students will also be exposed to their academic background, their college education, their research, their current jobs in hopes that the students will look at these historians as role models and leaders in history.
