African America Studies
The Black History 365 curriculum is informed by a collection of more than 3,000 documents and artifacts (oldest piece dated 1553), owned by The Freeman Institute Black History collection. Items from this collection have been featured in exhibits at the United Nations, White House, Clinton Presidential Library, Secret Service, FBI, and many more noteworthy venues. Most of the images included in this curriculum have come from this collection.
Library of Congress Black history collection includes: Correspondence, speeches, writings, court records, slave records, slave deeds, emancipation and manumission papers, birth and marriage records, wills, family and genealogical papers, military records, financial records, ships' papers, broadsides, newspaper clippings, printed matter, and other papers pertaining to African Americans from the colonial period through the early twenty-first century. Subjects include the slave trade, slaves, medical care of slaves, fugitive slaves, abolition, emancipation, manumission, freedmen, free blacks, civil rights, and military service, in particular during the American Civil War.
Reliable information on the history of Black people across the globe, and especially North America. The Black Past goal is to promote greater understanding of our common human experience through knowledge of the diversity of the Black experience and the ubiquity of the global Black presence.
By centering on the experiences and perspectives of African Americans, we hope this collection imbues the study of Black history with a deeper understanding of the humanity of people who have pursued the quest for freedom, and the significance of movements like Black Lives Matter.
