马里兰州的一位来自汉诺威汉诺威小学的才华横溢的老师在汇集了《时代》杂志封面上做了出色的工作，创建了“黑人历史就是美国历史”公告板。每个封面都描绘了一个著名的黑人美国人，他在美国社会和我们的历史上都留下了难忘的印记Martin Luther King Jr., director Ava DuVernay, and Vice PresidentKamala Harris.
您可以通过回收旧杂志封面来创建类似的教室外观printing your own, asking your local library for covers to print, or collecting them from a thrift store.

California5th-gradeteacher Ms. Pratt highlighted Black educators “who’ve made changes and history in education” on this bulletin board. Her use of a bold green background and a silhouette of Africa as the woman’s hair makes this a bold and eye-catching display for the classroom or hallway.
寻找一些黑人教育者在公告板上展出吗？这是一些黑人美国人，他们改变了我们的学生学习添加到您的董事会的方式！
- Booker T. Washington— In addition to his work advising a number of American presidents, Washington had a significant impact on the field of education as the founder of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University).
- W.E.B. Dubois— Best known for co-founding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Dubois taught at several universities, including Atlanta University and Fisk University.
- 夏洛特·福滕·格里姆凯（Charlotte FortenGrimké）— An abolitionist and activist, Grimké was among the teachers who helped formerly enslaved young people and adults learn to read during the Civil War.
Instead of focusing on educators, you could switch focus and use your bulletin board to teach students about some of the brave students who were on the front lines of the desegregating American schools from Ruby Bridges to the Little Rock Nine (Minnijean Brown, Terrance Roberts, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Thelma Mothershed, Melba Patillo, Gloria Ray, Jefferson Thomas, and Carlotta Walls).

The Hill We Climb

Poetry is a unique theme to focus on for a bulletin board such as this example by a Maryland teacher from Hanover Hills Elementary. They used the inaugural poem by Amanda Gorman as the basis for their Black History Month bulletin board. The poem is entitled “The Hill We Climb” which you can在这里听and created a metaphorical mountain with printouts of historical figures like Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, and哈丽特·塔布曼（Harriet Tubman）.
Here are some other ideas for poems you can study with your class and highlight on your Black History Month bulletin board:
- Life Doesn’t Frighten Me by Maya Angelou
- Dreams by Langston Hughes
- Black is Beautiful by Shannon D. Brown-Rogers
- Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
Teaching upper elementary? ThisAmanda Gorman biography projectwill introduce your students to the poet!
当地的黑人历史

Black History doesn’t have to be global or national for students to learn it. Amy, a western New York school librarian, thought it was important to highlight Black history right in her students’ community in the western New York area on her Black History Month bulletin board. She includes exhibits, parks, politics, and celebrations to enlighten her students’ knowledge of history and culture.
Spend some time investigating Black history in your local area to create a similar bulletin board. Once you’ve researched and typed out some information, you can use these descriptions each year or for a permanent bulletin board in your classroom or hallway.
Black, Bold and Gifted

Go bold with your bulletin board! This Hanover Hills Elementary teacher certainly did with their use of bright yellow and black felt. Many Black History Month bulletin boards highlight well-known Black Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Branch out with other historical figures such as Black mathematicians, scientists, poets, authors, etc.
如果您是科学或数学老师，这里有一些才华横溢的人物，您可以在公告板中包括：
- Benjamin Banneker— Best known for building America’s first clock
- Euphemia Lofton Haynes— The first Black American woman to earn a PhD in mathematics
- Katherine Johnson- 在NASA工作，并为约翰·格伦（John Glenn）围绕地球的轨道提供了计算
- 乔治华盛顿雕刻师— Invented more than 300 uses for peanuts
- Alexa Canady——第一位女性非裔美国人在th神经外科医生e United States
I Have A Dream

Handprints and cutouts are always useful when working with elementary students. Florida school librarian Marjorie did this with her bulletin board forMartin Luther King Jr.Day and Black History Month. She used colorful hand cutouts in the center with names of some of the school’s special ed students and scattered book cover printouts on the rest. Some of the books she highlights include:
- Famous Firsts of Black Americans由西比尔·汉考克（Sibyl Hancock）
- The Roots of Humanity吉姆·奥尔霍夫（Jim Ollhoff）

如果你有年轻学生喜欢的英语老师霍克里奇小姐, this is a great example of an age-appropriate bulletin board to gather inspiration. Incorporating art into your lessons is always a good idea.
Each child painted their own portrait of a historic Black figure in a frame, and Miss Hawkridge added photos with quotes from her students about their understanding of each person.

使用像汉诺威山小学老师这样的模板，使您的学生能够通过独立研究。他们让每个学生填写自己的工作表，突出了一个不同的黑人历史人物，包括Rosa Parks, Michelle Obama, andMartin Luther King Jr.
This is a perfect example of a homework assignment that can be put on display. You can also assign one historical character per student pair or small group to encourage teamwork in the research process.

Each student can treasure their laminated dream to capture their hopes and wishes from their young school years when they’re older.
