http://www.factmonster.com/spot/afroambios.html

Also, remember those great biographies on (I think it was) A&E? Bio is the site they have:

http://www.biography.com/people/groups/black-history

If you scroll down, people are grouped by what they became famous for. Click on a group, then scroll down and you can choose to "see all."

Some great resources from Scholastic:

The information is out there, it just takes some time to find. Good luck and let me know if you find another great site.

Cheers,

Mindi

Great to have you here!

Since you're an elementary educator you should consider joining the Elementary Ed group. You might also check out their discussion forum for resources!

FWIW this is my fav early elementary post - Julia's ABC Song Finds Its First Images.

You might also consider joining some of the discipline specific groups that interest you like
the math, Science, World History, and Art and Visual Cultures groups.

At the top of the group there should be an little + sign similar to the one in the Middle School group (image below) that says "+Join Middle School Group." Easy stuff.

Happy MC POPPING!!!
