Black History Month

[claireodon]

Just wondering if anyone is doing anything during October for Black History Month? I mind 2 black children of African descent (age 3 and 1) and 1 mixed race child (aged 4) and just looking for ideas really as I haven't got a clue how to introduce this.

I would start with Martin Luther King and talking about dreams... see where that progresses.

There will be lots of stuff on American sites as well that you can adapt...
