BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR KIDS
Every February, we celebrate the achievements and history of African Americans as part of Black History Month. Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

Is there anyway you can resend me the last four projects I had requested? They were deleted from another source by accident and I value everything I am learning from you so very much.
Thank you,
