Here are the suggestions I received for Black History Month: Perhaps, you'll be able to find some ideas from these sites posted recently. In case you find an occasion to search the Net or work on a class project for Black History Month, you may be interested in this list of web sites published in School Library Journal. Some teachers may wish to leave one of the sites up for individuals to explore. Black History: Exploring African-American Issues on the Web www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/BHM/AfroAm.html Netlinks!

I also got a book of Kente color patterns and their meanings from Scholastic ... Kente cloth patterns to color 0590880276. Perhaps you could talk to community members who would be willing to temporarily lend some cloths to you for a display and post the meanings near each. Please send me a posting of any other good ideas ..TIA. ________________________________________________________________________ Hi! This is my first time responding to an L_M net request------ but I hope this will help you. The local public library usually does the same thing every year in their children's section. On the bulletin board they make a quilt using blocks which make up a quilt of names of famous black americans. Your adult librarian could display books that match the names on the blocks. The public library has used construction paper and drawn stitches and designs on the fabric with colored and black magic markers, but I always thought if I ever used the idea I might use some gift wrap paper--subdued tones and designs of course--instead of construction paper. Pick your own title I don't remember if they used "Black History Month" or what--I haven't yet come up with a good one about quilts. I would appreciate hearing about any other responses. ________________________________________________________________________ Hope this helps!
