prev pageBlack History Month is held every October in Britain. The aims are to:
- Promote knowledge of Black History and experience.

For October 2005, we present a collection of infomation and resources to help schools celebrate Black History Month!

Wall of Fame! - Quotes from famous Black & Asian People
Quotations can be inspirational - and make a real difference to individuals at a personal level. We are compiling a "Wall of Quotes" which you can use at school - to match quotes to people. We would like you to contribute your favourite quotes to add to this during the month of October. Participating schools will receive a complimentary Race Equality resource to acknowledge their contribution to the website. This resource is now online! Click here to find out more. |
We have 40 questions for you to answer - most of which can be found by consulting 'The Encyclopedia Britannica Guide to Black History' Click here to read the quiz for KS2 and KS3 |
Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt
Sweet Clara is a slave in the cotton fields of Southern USA. She uses her skills as a seamstress to sew a quilt, which doubles as a map. This leads escaping slaves to ‘the Underground Railroad’, which takes them to Canada and freedom. Lesson plans for the Literacy Hour in KS2 are available here. A small number of copies of the book will be available for loan from CIRCLE from mid-October. Or order a copy from Amazon at www.amazon.co.uk |
