By Geography & Math Made Easy
A Celebration of Black Geographers & Their Accomplishments!
Geography seeks to study our planet and tell the stories of the people who inhabit it. But what stories are told? And who is chosen to tell them? Throughout history, often Black geographers were not given credit for their explorations and discoveries. This is a great lesson for geography for Black History Month.

This lesson brings to light and gives credit to 14 Blacks who were geographical explorers throughout history. Students also have the option to choose to research a past or present geographer outside of those specific to this lesson, which gives them student autonomy and ownership of their learning..
The learner will:
- Gain a greater understanding of Black geographers / explores contributions and role in history.
- Analyze how Black explorers impacted the occupations in geography.
- Gain an understanding of how unnoticed black geographers aided in creating a passageway for following Black generations to appreciate geography.
- Understanding how the Black populations have impacted and continue to impact geography.

- Suggested videos for an introduction (Not required)
- Detailed-teacher instructions including preparation, materials needed, procedures, and game instructions.
