Today we started a project that you’ll work on over the next month.

You are to pick a topic in African American history in the time period between the founding of the American colonies (~1600) and 1980. You should research that topic and create a museum exhibit to display what you think are the most important parts of that topic.

Refer to the assignment sheet for more specific instructions and a list of suggested topics.

The final project is due in class on Wednesday, 02/26/2009.
