The Making Freedom: African Americans in U.S. History Series

This groundbreaking series was developed by Primary Source, Inc., a nonprofit organization promoting historically accurate, culturally inclusive studies. The series offers a wealth of primary source materials compiled by leading scholars, classroom teachers, and curriculum specialists.

Each sourcebook in the series contains

  • context essays written by scholars in African American history
  • lesson plans written largely by teachers for teachers
  • a glossary
  • an accompanying CD, featuring all the primary source materials, plus supplementary materials, a chronology of events, an annotated bibliography, and recordings of music.
Innovative and intellectually compelling, these curriculum materials fit into the conventional "scope and sequence." Use a single sourcebook independently or all five to form a powerful vehicle for bringing the history of African American life to middle and high school classrooms.
