Last but not least on this fine afternoon, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Langston Hughes if you need it. He is another figure in Black History who bears extended scrutiny, so this worksheet really serves as the sparest of introductions to him.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
OK, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on abolitionism if you can use it. It’s a topic that in my not especially humble opinion bears great scrutiny, so this short exercise really can only properly serve as an introduction to the word and concept.

OK, last but not least this morning, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Fugitive Slave Act, another law designed to dehumanize and keep in bondage Americans of African descent. Not your proudest hour, United States.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so this seems like a good time to publish this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concept of the “significant other.”

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass in furtherance of Black History Month 2020. As you probably know, of have inferred, this is Mr. Douglass’s autobiography.

As is (I hope) well known, Dr. King found in civil disobedience the key to winning the struggle for dignity and basic civil rights for Americans of African descent. So, I believe I am justified in including this Cultural Literacy worksheet on civil disobedience in Mark’s Text Terminal’s observation of Black History Month 2020.

Until 1954 (i.e. Brown v. Board of Education), the United States Supreme Court was a reliable upholder of white supremacy. This Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Dred Scott decision helps students understand the precedent behind this illogical jurisprudence. It’s worth remembering that this was the case in which Chief Justice Roger Taney made some particularly trashy, racist comments in his decision.
For God’s sake….

Since they are clearly popular, here is another lesson plan from the pages of Crime and Puzzlement, this on on the case “Tread Lightly.”
I open this lesson on this Cultural Literacy worksheet on Josephine Baker–an exemplary American, by the way. The illustration and questions drive the lesson. Finally, here is the answer key to solve the case.

Moving right along on this cold and rainy day, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Richard Wright. I assume I needn’t belabor his importance in American letters in the twentieth century.

His premature death robbed the world of a keen, compassionate intellect. Since reading The Fire Next Time in my early twenties, my eyes have been wide open to his genius. If you want to know more about James Baldwin, I cannot recommend highly or often enough Raoul Peck’s magisterial documentary “I Am Not Your Negro.”
So, this Cultural Literacy worksheet on James Baldwin does not do the man justice, but it might serve as an introduction to him for your students.
