Medieval Africa, America, and Black History Month
After studying medieval Africa for several weeks, we will now take a turn in history that will connect Africa with our own lives in America. In recognition of the millions of African slaves who contributed to the growth of our nation in its early days, we will be devoting much of this final week of the Africa unit to looking of slavery in early America and the United States.
Among other things, we will watch excerpts from a PBS series entitled Africans in America. Check out the link, and be sure to view some of the following sites for more in-depth information.
