Sometimes history misplaces or forgets important people who dreamed, fought, served, made changes in our lives, and affected history’s path. In this exciting new collection/revue, we are introduced through story and song to ten African Americans whose contributions to society, culture, our nation, and the world should be celebrated and never forgotten. Included are: The Soldier – Henry Johnson; The Activist – A. Phillip Randolph; The Journalist – John Russwurm; The Fighter – Jack Johnson; The Singer – Mamie Smith; The Film Maker – Oscar Micheaux; The Politician – P. B.S. Pinchback; The Preacher – Adam Clayton Powell; The Entrepreneur – Madame C.J. Walker; and The Explorer – Matthew Alexander Henson. The narrative script is a terrific teaching tool, providing interesting facts and information about each person and his or her contributions. What a terrific presentation for African American History Month celebrations, and a valuable resource for multicultural and interdisciplinary studies!
