Every year there is always a project that needs to be
submitted for black history month but you may not know who to choose. Some
students may be tired of doing the same people, or having someone in class that
did the same research as you so here a few people that you cobuld possibly do
your project on.
Daisy Bates: She was a civil rights leader who helped
desegregate Arkansas’ Central High School in Little Rock.
Alvin Ailey: American modern dancer and choreographer, known
for his style and his choreography were based on multiracial cultures.
George Carruthers: Earned his Ph.D. in aeronautical
engineering. He built telescopes as a child and as he became an adult NASA used
his inventions to explore space and the Earth’s atmosphere.
Garrett Morgan: Girls should be grateful for Mr. Morgan, he improved the
sewing machine, traffic signal, a hair straightening product, and a respiratory
device.
Hank Aaron: one of the best baseball players of all time. He
scored 755 home runs.
Black History Month started around 1926 in the United States
when Carter G. Woodson declared the second week of February to be “Negro
History Week”. This week was
chosen because it marked the birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick
Douglass.
