Carter G Woodson-Founder of Black History Month

tmuse1 — 2023-02-13 16:34:35 UTC

"Carter G. Woodson was a scholar and whose dedication to celebrating the historic contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976. Woodson fervently believed that Black people should be proud of their heritage and all Americans should understand the largely overlooked achievements of Black Americans."

We read "I am Every Good Thing" and then traced our own hands using skin color construction paper. We made our papers into a wreath. We touched each other's skin and talked about Melanin, which makes our skin different shades.

Bayard Rustin- An unsung hero of the civil rights movement (4min.)

2023-02-17 17:01:56 UTC

Bayard Rustin was a Quaker.
"The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was the biggest protest America had ever seen. It culminated in Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr’s iconic “I Have A Dream” speech. But the man who made it all possible, chief organiser Bayard Rustin, was almost written out of history not because he was black, but because he was gay."
