[YL] Black Business History online resources/suggestions

[Mercedes Soto]

May I suggest you take a look at http://www.thehistorymakers.com/
website?
The HistoryMakers goal is to raise awareness about the significant
contributions African Americans have made to American life, society and
culture, and to highlight the many personal stories of African American
contributors. They include a section on Business Makers.

sMakers 

Many of the people featured in other sections are also entrepreneurs or
business people as well. . .

>good afternoon,
>I am working on a graduate project to provide educational content
related 
>to black business history to 8-12th grade students in an
extracurricular 
>program that focuses on teaching about the business world. We have been

>guided toward some good hardbound books/biographies such as The History
of 
>Black Business in America by Juliet E.K. Walker, Black Titan by Carol 
>Jenkins and Elizabeth Gardner Hines, and On her Own Ground by A'Lelia 
>Bundles. We have started creating general categories of content such as

>1)books/magazines & business organizations the students should be aware
of; 
>2)business persons/leaders they should be familliar with;
3)businesses(such 
>as those in the BE 100's) that they should know about, and 4)
Historically 
>Black Colleges and Universities that have grown business leaders.
>
>I am looking for you input on 2 fronts
>
>1) Existing web-based resources that focus on or incorporate aspects of

>black business history that might be useful for webquests, as
supplemental 
>resources, or as models for instruction.

>2) Your thoughts as educators on what areas of content you think are
best 
>for this audience- with the goal being to give them familiarity with/a 
>sense of history of who has come before them, and hopefully instill in
them 
>a bit of entrepeneurial spirit and confidence that they can be
successful 
>in business.
>
>thanks for your consideration.
