Free Printable Black History and American History Activities

Carter G. Woodson created the idea of Black History Month in 1926, but it wasn't until 50 years later when the first February Black History Month was celebrated during the United States bicentennial. Here are free printable black history lessons. Black History Month explores the history, culture, struggles and contributions of the Aftrican diaspora (displaced or forced immigration population) in the US, Canada and UK (they observe African-American history month in October). Black History, as Morgan Freeman so rightly noted, is American History and should be studied every month. Use these free printable activities in your classroom or homeschool.
