Booktalk #1 Carter G. Woodson, the child of former slaves, grew up reading the newspaper to his family and later his fellow miners. His love of knowledge inspired him to further his education, explore his people’s history, and become the founder of Black History Month. (Nutmeg Book Award 2021) Booktalk #2 In February, we celebrate Black History Month. But without Carter G. Woodson, we might not have Black History Month. Carter was born just ten years after the end of the Civil War to parents who had been enslaved. He could only attend school four months each year and he worked the rest of the year to help his family. Eventually, he went to school and earned a doctoral degree from Harvard University. Carter became interested in sharing with others the important contributions and history of Black Americans. Carter changed history. Do you know the contributions of the 40 Black Americans highlighted in this book? (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2021-2022) |
