Arming teachers with better classroom resources in preparation for Black History Month, Scholastic recently announced it created an all-encompassing set of resources that will help educators dig deeper into the roots of African-American history.

"Black History Month is an important topic addressed in thousands of classrooms across the country every year, and it's a time when teachers across many grade levels and content areas are searching for engaging activities and reliable content for instruction," said Francie Alexander, chief academic officer at Scholastic.

Scholastic.com has put together more than 100,000 pages of free content for educators, as well as student activities, videos, teaching strategies for teachers and articles about some influential people in African-American history.

Topics included are Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Civil Rights movement, the Underground Railroad and more.

Another resource for teachers to help their students grasp the importance of Black History Month is in Antioch's Lynn House Gallery in Walnut Creek, California, which will have a timeline of artifacts that will lead visitors through the history of African-Americans, reported the Contra Cost Times.
