20th Century Black Personalities.

Dansville, N.Y./Jackson, TN: InstructorCurriculum Materials/Weber Costello, 1985. 14 small posters measuring 16” x 11½”. Generally very good with light to moderate wear, all laminated.

This is a mixed set of educational posters. Per the included teacher's guide,

“This poster set presents fourteen brief biographies of distinguished black Americans, most of whom are living today . . . the biography is written for middle-level elementary students to read . . . The series will lend itself to self-contained, open, or departmentalized classrooms; paired learning situations, individualized instruction or research . . .”

The teacher's guide also provided 23 examples of how they could be used. People profiled include household names like Bill Cosby and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but also lesser known personalities such as the publisher John H. Johnson, and Guion S. Bluford, Jr., the first African American astronaut to be launched into space.

OCLC locates 11 copies, nearly all at public school libraries. Very good. Item #8513
