Curso de Historia Afroamericana || Historia Negra || En Curso

In this African American History course (Part 1), students will learn about the history and contributions of African Americans. We will  first talk about the importance of learning/celebrating African American history. Students will learn about the historical events and notable figures in Black history. This course offers opportunities to dig deep in black history and understand how black people strived for the freedom and rights that we all have today.  This class will include topics (in an age appropriate manner) on slavery, the Civil rights movement, racial oppression, racial segregation, and discrimination. Students will also learn about the achievements of African Americans in many areas. 

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 THROUGH THE YEAR :)
