We’ve gathered together resources for Black History Month. This research guide includes GoWYLD.net databases, primary sources and classroom materials.
Research databases include Black Freedom Struggle, a resource featuring select primary source documents related to critical people and events in African American history; Black Studies Center, a resource that brings together essential historical and current material for researching the past, present, and future of African-Americans; and U.S. History (Gale in Context) featuring a topic header, African American Perspectives.
