African-American History Teaching Resources

image source: allposters.com

There are some nice teaching resources for African-American history at AfroAmericanHeritage.com.   Many of the materials are geared more for primary and secondary school students, but there are some especially nice posters that would make for good law school classroom visuals.   The “Black Women of Achievement” poster series caught my eye.   It includes posters of Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan (thumbnail at left).

Other resources that might be helpful for faculty and students are the African American Biographical Database and the International Index to Black Periodicals.
