Make every month “Black
History Month”
name________________________
section:
date:
Find some time when you can work
with your parents, friends, brothers or sisters to work on this homework
assignment. You will have to the end of the month of February to
complete it. Challenge yourself to come up with a new list of names for
next month and the next. Read the essay: “Where Would We Be Without
Black People?” See if you can find one Internet resource for each
inventor (or patent) listed in the story. Your
findings will be used to help students in following years learn more
about our African American history. For those of you feeling a bit
creative, add on to the story with more inventions/patents for which
Africans--or African Americans-- played a part.
For each of the categories
below, list at least one African American (or any person of African
decent). Include why this person was selected and why you admire this
person.
