Materials Specific Details

DVD video disc, 134 minutes: "Ten episodes, one for each decade of the 20th century, highlight stories in African American history from the 20th century that were either omitted from or marginally discussed in history textbooks to date. A mini biography, Someone you should know, follows each decade's story to highlight the life of a significant historical figure of the decade. Segments are accompanied by individual lessons plans. This documentary/lesson plans curriculum was created for educational use by the Curriculum Design Team in the College of Education at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs headed by Dr. La Vonne I. Neal in collaboration with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and Farmers Insurance Group. Using standards of the National Council for Social Studies and the culturally responsive teaching framework of Dr. Geneva Gay, each lesson combines historical scholarship with effective teaching methods."
