This period represents a critical era for the United States and for African Americans.

    From African to African American: the Creolization of African Culture

    From African to African American: The Creolization of African Culture Melvin A. Obey Community Services So long So far away Is Africa Not even memories alive Save those that songs Beat back into the blood... Beat out of blood with words sad-sung In strange un-Negro tongue So long So far away Is Africa -Langston Hughes, Free in a White Society INTRODUCTION When I started working in HISD’s Community Services my first assignment was working with inner city students that came to us straight from TYC (Texas Youth Commission). Many of these young secondary students had committed serious crimes, but at that time they were not treated as adults in the courts. Teaching these young students was a rewarding and enriching experience. You really had to be up close and personal with these students when dealing with emotional problems that would arise each day. Problems of anguish, sadness, low self-esteem, disappointment, loneliness, and of not being wanted or loved, were always present. The teacher had to administer to all of these needs, and in so doing got to know and understand the students. Each personality had to be addressed individually. Many of these students came from one parent homes, where the parent had to work and the student went unsupervised most of the time. In many instances, students were the victims of circumstances beyond their control, the problems of their homes and communities spilled over into academics. The teachers have to do all they can to advise and console, without getting involved to the extent that they lose their effectiveness.

Grades 7-8 Essential Questions • What was lifelike for the individual human beings before they were forced into slavery? • What were the causes and effects of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade? • What was the Triangle Trade Route and how did it affect the continents involved? • What was the experience of enslaved Africans during the Middle Passage? • What were the experiences of individuals who were enslaved? What was the effect of enslavement on their livelihood and culture? • How did slavery develop in the southern colonies, particularly in North and South Carolina? • In what ways did slavery impact the foundations of America?

Ama’s Journey to Freedom on the Underground Railroad CONTEMPORARY ISSUES — In the Never Give Up! Film 1) Slavery is a topic that often makes students uncomfortable because of the difficult nature of the subject matter. African American and white students may feel particularly uneasy because there’s often a narrow representation of each race as either victim or oppressor. 2) It can be difficult for students to understand slavery’s brutal effect on people through textbook study alone. 3) Students may not have reflected on the gender-specific ways in which enslaved people were treated. 4) The interracial, collaborative nature of the Underground Railroad is not always highlighted. OBJECTIVES • Students will learn powerful, inspiring everyday ways in which enslaved people, including enslaved young people, courageously resisted slavery.

    HISTORICAL FICTION: Jackson MS Library the Era of the War Between the States May 2013

    HISTORICAL FICTION: Jackson MS Library The Era of the War Between the States May 2013 Check the online catalogs at your school and public libraries to find these titles. Armstrong, Jennifer The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan In a rich tapestry of dreams, legend, and the pivotal events of the American Civil War, this haunting novel portrays a family of Irish immigrants fighting to find its identity in the New World while a nation struggles to be born anew out of the carnage of war. Avi Iron Thunder: The Battle Between the Monitor & the Merrimac Tom's job as an assistant to Captain John Ericsson, the inventor of the Monitor, makes him a target of Confederate spies. Bartoletti, Susan Campbell No Man’s Land: a Young Soldier’s Story Because he had been unable to fight off the gator that injured his father, 14-year-old Thrasher joins the Confederate Army hoping to prove his manhood. Beatty, Patricia Charley Skedaddle During the Civil War, a twelve-year-old Bowery Boy from New York City joins the Union Army as a drummer, deserts during a battle in Virginia, and encounters a hostile old mountain woman. Beatty, Patricia Jayhawker Elija ``Lije'' Tulley eagerly joins the band of men recruited by abolitionist John Brown to be Jayhawkers, Kansans who cross into neighboring Missouri to steal away slaves and help them to freedom. The historical figures who populate the story are well portrayed as flesh-and-blood characters, not just names out of a history book. There is one glaring error in the text; Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 did not free all slaves in the United States, as the story says, but only those in states in rebellion against the Union.
