=**AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY TIME LINE:**=

The class will be divided into 6 groups. Each group of students will contribute to the class African-American History Timeline by researching a period of time and adding information to the group page. Each student will reflect on their own wiki page, but must also reflect on at least one historical time period each day. By the end of class on Friday of each week, each student should have commented on each group's wiki page.

As you conduct your research, be sure to compare and contrast how African Americans were treated in the different time periods. What challenges did they have in each period of time? What accomplishments did they make? What opportunities did they have? Who became famous and why? What happened to those who spoke out and stood up for African-American rights?

Put yourself in each time period. First, think of yourself as being white. Then, think of yourself as being black. How do you think you would have acted in each time period as a white or black. Would you have had the courage to stand up for the rights of blacks? Take the online quiz and the virtual tour to test your knowledge of African-American history.
