 * Introduction**

February is Black History Month. Black History Month was started in 1976 and honors the achievements of African Americans in American history. African Americans have played an important role in the history of our country. In order to learn more about famous African Americans, you will be working in small groups to research a famous African American. Your group will then create a slide show about the person's life and present this information to the class.
