This is a SUMMER course. You can join anytime you'd like throughout the summer In this summer course, we'll explore hidden stories from Black history. We'll learn about important people and events that made a big impact. Through engaging conversations and group discussions, students will dive into their stories and discover how their bravery, strength, and new ideas changed the world. From leaders who fought for change to those who showed us new paths, we'll uncover their lasting influence and how it still inspires us today. It is important to know that I am very honest in my classes. I don't sugarcoat history but I truthfully tell it in an age-appropriate manner. I like my classes to be interactive, so there will be many opportunities to participate in class discussions. Each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Participation is encouraged but not required. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, it is important to give each student the opportunity to speak and ask questions. THIS IS AN ONGOING CLASS, STUDENTS CAN JOIN AT ANYTIME, PAUSE, OR OPT OUT AT ANYTIME THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER FYI - I will have a brand new ongoing class posted for the school year 2024 that will focus on - African Americans in music, art, and medicine, this is different form my previous ongoing class SUMMER 2024 Desegregating Beaches Sit in Movement The Green Book: A Travel Guide During the Jim Crow Era Claudette Colvin Shirley Chisholm Katherine Johnson Angela Davis Medgar Evers Henrietta Lacks Mary Bethune Thurgood Marshall Interracial Marriage Civil Rights Tulsa Massacre Fannie Lou Hamer Tuskegee Airmen Lonnie Johnson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, American Figures, Racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being biased. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges, which heavily focused on Afro and African American studies.
