One of the crafts we set out for Black History Month was this 28 Days of Black History booklet. It was loosely inspired by Tanya G Marshall's resources to go along with 28 Days: Moments In Black History That Changed the World by Charles R. Smith Jr.
This is mainly biographical but does include one page for the Tuskegee Airmen.
I wanted to have an assortment of figures and pulled from different books we have in the library about prominent African American figures from history and contemporary.
Here's a list of who is included:
- Jesse Owens
- Harriet Tubman
- Bessie Coleman
- Barrack Obama
- Shirley Chisholm
- Madam CJ Walker
- Muhammad Ali
- Simone Biles
- Rosa Parks
- Jason Reynolds
- Michael Jordan
- Katherine Johnson
- Thurgood Marshall
- Tuskegee Airmen
- Angela Davis
- Mae Jemison
- Martin Luther King Jr.
- Misty Copeland
- John Lewis
- Leah Chase (this is the woman who inspired Disney's Princess and the Frog)
- Frederick Douglass
- Ruby Bridges
- Charles Henry Turner
- Serena Williams
- George Washington Carver
- Jackie Robinson
- Maya Angelou
- Bass Reeves
Each booklet takes about 8 (?) pages to print so it does involve using up some paper.
Assembly: Once printed off, each page was cut along the dotted line, put in chronological order and stapled into a booklet.
If this is something you're interested in, here's the link to the PDF.
Click HERE for the LINK but keep reading for some tidbits about printing . . .
Tidbit #1: If you can, print (1) front and back and (2) flip on the short edge
Tidbit #2: This is only relevant if you want to save paper. There will be an odd number of pages in the assembled booklet so to save paper, I made pages 15 & 16 of the PDF identical. Here's a visual to explain better what I want to say . . .
If possible, I would suggest setting a custom print of 1-14 for the exact number of booklets you need. Because PDF pages 15 & 16 will give you 2 identical booklet pages, print off half the number you need for those pages.
