Our History

Library of Congress ImageHello Everyone, I thought this would be a cool category to have short articles and links about History… American, Native American, African-American… and on and on and on!!!

In honor of another site I was hosting, my First links are about African American History:
1.  Black Facts:  www.blackfacts.com

Though this site has short blurbs about history facts, I encourage you to use them as starting points and use other internet searching tools to research the facts further.

2.  Black Collegian:  www.black-collegian.com

This site has a job search and other tools for college students.

3.  Slave Narratives:

The narratives are interesting reads.  There was another site that I had on a previous website.  I liked the design because it was straight forward and simple.

Unfortunately, I’ve lost track of that site.  The ones I have listed below are still interesting reads.  I will keep searching for the original site and post it if I find it, but in the mean time, enjoy what’s listed below.

#1: Library of Congress Collection: Born In Slavery

#2: http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/ [North American Slave Narratives]

4.  Networking:

www.blackplanet.com

These are just a few links listed.  Some social media sites like Tumblr, TikTok, Twitter, will allow you to create a hashtag with the word #black… in it to identify posts that are from black content creators.  That way you can network with others that way too.

Hope this was useful!
