This beautiful black history month poster spotlights some of the remarkable women we learned about while creating our newest game, Trekking Through History. During our research, we discovered that history is full of incredible women whose stories aren't well known, especially black women.
In honor of Black History Month, we wanted to highlight a few of history's greatest females in a one-of-a-kind poster. We're also including engaging worksheets with room for students to research and write about these great women. Just give your email below to get the poster and worksheets.
