Resources and Curricula that Promote Writing
The Black History Curriculum
For centuries, black people have used their knowledge, skills, talents, and tenacity to create a better life for themselves and the world. Unfortunately, many of their accomplishments were ignored or, worse yet, stolen. Author and founder, Terri Whitmire, curated this phenomenal group of well-known and lesser-known black change-makers who have made an indelible mark on our society. In keeping with the goal of LIFT2Enrich, a reflective writing component has been added to help students deepen their understanding and increase retention.
