Black Women in History Quote Posters

Hang the posters around the room and have students walk the room choosing one quote. Students can then explain in writing what the quote means and look up its printed source.

Ten posters after the cover: Mary McLeod Bethune, Fannie Lou Hamer, Maya Angelou, Harriet Jacobs, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Phillis Wheatley, Zora Neale Hurston and Mary Church Terrell. Each has a portrait, name, life dates, one short quote and a source line. Angelou's is a poem title, Chisholm's a slogan and book title, and Terrell's an organization's motto.

14 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 31 Black History Month resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Black History Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
