Black History Month: The Week That Became a Month

Jalen is in charge of the February timeline, and every poster he finds has the same five people on it. Students dig with him: Carter G. Woodson and why the week is in February, seven turning points from 1619 to 2008, eight people who changed things, inventions, music, and writing, and how to mark the month with respect. Five interactive lessons and a graded quiz.
