What do all these people have in common: the first man to die in the American Revolution; a onetime chief of the Crow Nation; the inventors of peanut butter and the portable X-ray machine; and the first person to make a wooden clock in this country? They were all great African Americans. For parents and teachers interested in fostering cultural awareness among children of all races; this book includes more than 70 hands-on activities; songs; and games that teach kids about the people; experiences; and events that shaped African American history. This expanded edition contains new material throughout; including additional information and biographies. Children will have fun designing an African mask; making a medallion like those worn by early abolitionists; playing the rhyming game "Juba;" inventing Brer Rabbit riddles; and creating a unity cup for Kwanzaa. Along the way they will learn about inspiring African American artists; inventors; and heroes like Harriet Tubman; Benjamin Banneker; Rosa Parks; Langston Hughes; and Louis Armstrong; to name a few.
