Preschoolers want to learn about the Jim Crow Era

Help me give my students a chance to learn about how minorities were treated in the Jim Crow Era.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins's classroom raised $207

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students are gearing up to learn about Black history and all of the issues that their ancestors endured by the police, shopping in black only stores, being parents and trying to vote. Although they are preschoolers, I can teach it with the help of these materials.

Please help me teach preschoolers about the Jim Crow Era in the South.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to discuss with them about what their ancestors have been through and how we can in their future improve race relations. We will watch videos, listen to read aloud and use these materials to put on plays in our classroom.
