Black History Month Posters – Free Printable
February is Black History Month and it is a great time to celebrate the accomplishments of important figures and historic moments.
While I think it’s important to learn about the important accomplishments Black Americans have made to U.S. history throughout the whole year, February is set aside to honor their achievements and raise awareness of Black history.
Today I’m sharing with you free printable posters that I created for our school room. There are 24 posters and each one shows a clip art picture and a 1-2 sentence summary about them. These are just the highlights, and of course, there was much more to their lives!
Black History Month Posters
There are 24 people highlighted in this printable. There are SO many more people I wish I could’ve added to the puzzles. I bought some wonderful clip art for this printable, but it only had these 24 historical figures. If the artist makes more, I’ll make sure to add more posters.
