We have been learning about the effect of American history on African Americans through reading Heart and Soul by Kadir Nelson.  We have also watched many videos and powerpoints to help us understand the historical content.  Now it is our turn to continue our research to bring more information to our audience about the hope and unwavering courage of African American's thoughout our country's history.

We will be learning about different types of formats in which information is presented:
