Black History Month

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool

Here are some resources your kids could explore for Black History Month.

Adults: Finding Your Roots Episode on Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick – This includes the great story of Mumbet, but I think it also offers an interesting look at changing views on slavery, how whites were products of their culture and how it took time and often someone to come along and basically wake them up to the reality around them.

Teens: Drop Me Off in Harlem  You can click Play All.

Elementary: Musical Harlem

Everyone: Watch Alvin Ailey’s Revelations (excerpts) Watching Guide (“Learn More”)

    Thank you so much providing these resources. I had gone to the library to pick up books on the subject, but having something to incorporate into this format is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

      We’re not a school, so we don’t provide any kind of documentation. You can look into your state’s rules for getting a diploma.

    There’s really not a a lot of content on slavery, why is that? Slavery is a big part of American history, a lesson plan on it is needed.
