The United States designates the month of February to African American History. However, people make history and contribute to their communities, the world and history every single day. For the month of February, we are going to tackle the task of educating one another on current people who contribute the African American community in today's day and age. Take a moment to research a public figure who contributes to the African American community. In your response make sure that you inform your peers on the following information:
Who What their major impact on society is How their actions changed or influenced the community Their profession What can be done as a result of their actions What actions you can take as a citizen to continue their efforts Your citizen MUST be current. This means that they must have contributed within the last 5-7 years. Be sure to think beyond common figures like Beyonce', Jay- Z, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Oprah etc. While their efforts are extremely impactful, I want you all to take a moment and research beyond common pop culture and history. |
