Rediscover the impact of African-Americans in our lives during Black History Month.
February, Black History Month is a time to introduce students to African-Americans who are a part of our history. African-Americans have impacted our lives and February is an opportunity to hear the names of forgotten and well-known African-Americans.
Otis Boykin, an African-American saves hundreds, if not thousands of lives each year with the invention of the pacemaker. Meanwhile, Garrett Morgan, saves lives with the invention of the traffic signal. Could you imagine the chaos in urban centers without this invention? African-Americans have made contributions in all areas of our lives and it is important for students to hear about their contribution to our lives.
