Black History Sites Abound


© Melissa Sztuczko-Payk

No matter what your background, there is a wealth of racial/ethnic history sites on the web. I found a number of them while helping my kids find research for school reports. This week, I'll be focusing on Black History sites. In coming weeks, you'll find sites for Women's History, Asian History, Eastern European History. Actually, the links will include sites relating to history, language, the arts, and the sciences.

Scott's African American Bookmarks offers links to a about 30 links, including "Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians?" and "Phat African American Poetry Book".

Maya Angelou Pages has not only the obvious (links to some of her poems), but also links to several other African American poets.

African American History is an excellent source for students who may have been given a research topic like, "Write a newspaper article about an important African American person or event" (as my son was). There are wonderful links about the Negro Baseball League, "Teaching African and African American History and Culture in the 21st Century", "American Slave Narratives", and "Voices from the Gaps: Women Writers of Color".

West African Textiles has loads of information about fabrics, including how they are made, the symbolism involved, and their historical context.

African Americans in the Sciences is an ideal source for teachers wanting to integrate diversity into science courses.

Let's Go Around the World offers great information for K-8 students, parents and teachers.

The Human Languages Page provides links to a number of language education sites.

These are only a few of the fantastic sites that I've found. Next week, I'll be sharing Women's History sites.
