Homeschool Curriculum Picks, Black History

Hey Loves!

So, we are finishing up this series with my favorite subject, Black History. In our house, Black History isn’t a month. It is not a banner. It is not something cute on a shirt. It is an anthem. It is a fabric interwoven through our lives, our being. It is our heritage. It is a lamp post that lights the path of our future.

Last year, I began creating my own black History curriculum and that is what we will use for this year as well. I hesitate to say curriculum because it is living and growing as we speak but for the sake of continuity… This curriculum is broken down by events (i.e. Bus Boycotts) or pioneers (inventors, explorers) or leaders ( athletes, civil rights) and explores an individual’s life, contributions, hurdles, and how they overcame said hurdles to improve life for us. From there we explore and learn how can continue to carry the torch. We will use this paired with tons of books from our home and local library, documentaries and podcasts. I will break this down in my stories on IG if you want to learn more, hop on over. Or you can get more deets in my YouTube video here.

If you are new here, I am raising allies. What does that mean? I am raising my children to learn, respect, empathize with and celebrate other cultures while teaching them, through action, to stand with them and help them fight for equality and against adversity. Part of that is equipping them with the knowledge of their own heritage.

Per usual, I am here for any questions. Comment, send a message or anything.

Thanks for keeping up and reading along for all of this. I really hope this helps.

Love you .Mean it.
