CPS has purchased data bases for students and their families to use at home and at school. Several of them have excellent information that may be helpful for exploring Black History Month, and writing reports about famous African Americans.

One of the sites that has many biographies of African Americans is:  <a href="http://thehistorymakers.com">http://thehistorymakers.com</a>

Another site that would be helpful is: <a href="http://go.grolier.com">http://go.grolier.com</a>  That site requires a password, which you can get by emailing Mrs. Travis.

Kids InfoBits, at <a href="http://access.gale.com/cps">http://access.gale.com/cps</a> also uses the same password. It has information written at an elementary school level.

The Chicago Tribune is running an excellent series of articles about the African-Americans or Chicago on their website.
