Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1975).
From Juneteenth and unsung civil rights activists to daring female aviators to black EMTs who pioneered the profession, The Black History Activity Book will entertain, educate, and enlighten as you make your way through its pages. Learn about important figures and events in black history in a way you haven't experienced before, and then you can test your knowledge and explore further with trivia questions, crossword puzzles, word searches, and detailed coloring pages that will keep you stimulated for hours. This activity book features the inspirational biographies of black pioneers and trailblazers in various fields. You'll meet the inventor Frederick McKinley Jones, the opera sensation Marian Anderson, and the founder of an exclusive all-black California town, among several others. You will also be presented with a brief history of Newark, complete with an ethnic transformation that created a stew for racial violence and uprising. Each biographical article is followed by at least one related activity and an associated coloring page for your enjoyment. Unlike other books on the market that feature well-known subjects and events from black history, The Black History Activity Book covers obscure history makers, whose triumphs, struggles, and dreams are also worth telling.
