This class is two six-week series of interactive storytelling videos where I will re-enact the chapter and include an activity to be completed during the week. Students will then choose one completed activity to share with us at the monthly come together.

This is a gentle yet truthful journey of African-American/ American history.

Students should each have their own copy of the text, Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans.

Part 1 covers Chapters 1-6.

Part 2 covers Chapters 7-12.

Students will explore the challenges, resolve, and contributions of
African Americans. They will leave the course with a firm
understanding that African American history is indeed American history.

Content Note

This text, although gentle, is an honest look at history and therefore will include some violence, discrimination, and hard discussions as it relates to African-Americans. I will soften language when appropriate given the young age of the students.

Materials List:
A copy of the book Heart And Soul, The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson.
