IN OUR OWN IMAGE
An African American History, for Grades 5 through 8 Rochester City School District

After years of neglect there is finally a way you can provide inclusion for your students in African American heritage, completely and easily – in one text!

An authentic voice text on African American history – written by scholars from within the culture!

Now inclusion is easy! In Our Own Image provides an up-to-date, comprehensive account of African American heritage without overwhelming you – the teacher – in the process. This new edition has an expanded activities section, more illustrations, and additional chapters, all redesigned with today's middle school student in mind.

In chronological chapters, In Our Own Image covers virtually every aspect of African American history and culture through the late 1990s. Beginning with a study of the life and times of early African leaders and communities, the text continues chronologically with the Middle Passage and enslavement, the Emancipation Proclamation, legal segregation, and the Ku Klux Klan. Then experience the explosion of cultural pride during the Harlem Renaissance, witness the struggle for civil rights, and reflect on contemporary issues facing African Americans today.

Teachers love the fact that this new edition is filled with great activities – so no additional workbook is needed. In fact, you can use In Our Own Image on its own, as a full course – or use selected chapters to supplement any standard U.S. History course.
