Find Out More About Black History Month

Black History Month is in February and there is such a rich history behind it…much of it painful. I decided to do an article for the Examiner about Black History Month in Michigan. I was surprised to find so much information…even a connection to the Underground Railroad. If you would like to read this article, please see link below. But to find other information, here are some sources you may want to check into.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The Internet. This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get information about anything. One great site is Biography.com where there is a wealth of information. Another great site for educational purposes is TeacherVision where lesson plans, crafts, and more are available.

  2. Step 2

    The library. Visit your local library and check out the many resources available for study. Most library resources are accessible on line. Also, they may have old newspapers on file of that time period.

  3. Step 3

    Visit a museum. There may be special exhibits to see regarding Black History Month.

  4. Step 4

    Your State government website. I have found a great amount of historical information on my state’s website, so I encourage you to check out your State’s website by googling Black History Month “your State” and this should pull up the information you need.

  5. Step 5

    Go to a conference or talk on the subject. Many experts on the topic of Black History Month are speaking throughout the country sharing their knowledge. Check your local listings for area events.

Tips & Warnings
  • History has a way of helping us grow as individuals...don't miss the lessons of history.
