>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.
