Original Prompt

I need a packet that has worksheets for a project on Lesser Known Famous African Americans. Students will make a poster and a google slideshow on their chosen person.

The project encourages students to research and present information about lesser-known African American historical figures, aiming to deepen their understanding of the diverse contributions these individuals made to American history. Students will create a physical poster and a Google Slideshow featuring a selected figure, including timelines, major life events, and summaries of their historical significance. This project not only promotes research skills and creativity but also highlights the importance of recognizing lesser-known but impactful figures in Black history, such as Bayard Rustin, Claudette Colvin, Matthew Henson, Shirley Chisholm, and Garrett Morgan.
