Welcome Back Students!!! First I would like to say I hope each and everyone
had a great and restful summer. I look forward to teaching you a host of new
information and several new strategies to assist you in analyzing African American historical
data. My ultimate goal this year is to help my students think like a historian
and formulate their own perspective about events and people of the African American race.
This year will consist of a pivotal presidential election in our nation's
history and we will examine the political process that the Constitution has
created for the Executive Branch of the United States of America. We will also
take a close look at the second half of American History from
Reconstruction(1877)-President Barack Obama's Administration. Becoming a
productive and active citizen in your community, city, state, and country will
allow you to create your own personal history and my plans are to build the
foundations for it!
