Black History Month
Celebrate this Black History Month by exploring the cultural history of the Black experience in the United States and around the world. The videos in our general collection offer students opportunities to dive deeper into history, linguistics, law, and cultural studies to challenge their assumptions and expand their understanding of Black history. From Black History Month for kids to Black inventors, these videos suit a variety of ages and classrooms.
Black History: Arts, Music, Fashion, and Culture
Art is the ultimate expression of culture and identity. These videos have been selected to help students explore familiar pop culture and to expand their understanding of Black art history. Highlights include the Black beauty industry and music history from the jazz age to modern hip hop. You’ll also learn about the works of great writers like Toni Morrison, take a deep dive into African American English (AAE), and explore Missy Elliott's contributions to the philosophy and cultural aesthetic of Afrofuturism.
Black History: Black Women Making History
Inspire students with the stories of exceptional women who have shaped civil rights, technology, the arts, education, and politics. Black women have made their mark across history and in every industry. Celebrate the creativity, leadership, and activism from legendary women like Shirley Chisholm, Mae Jemison, Ida B. Wells, and others!
Black History: Civil Rights Leaders
In the face of social injustice and oppression, civil rights leaders risked their safety and freedom to fight for change - and their efforts not only caused significant social and legal progress, but are the stories we learn from in the face of injustice today. Explore the legacies of famous and pivotal figures in history, like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ruby Bridges, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Malcolm X.
Black History: Sports, Activism, & Legendary Athletes
These legendary athletes are stars and innovators in American sports, from Jesse Owens to Simone Biles. Athletics has a history, too, of activism and commentary on social change. This collection will help your students contextualize sports in American history with the Black experience, and learn about legends along the way.
