Our history has been denied, lied about, covered up, "stolen", and "downgraded". Our true history is the worlds history and we must teach it to keep it alive, fuelling our youth with strength, understanding, creativity, wisdom, knowledge and honest pride!

It takes a united, positive, hard working village to raise a great child. Keep your cirlce strong!

I'm currently trying to put together some sort of scope and sequence for our homeschool. May I ask what's your approach to teaching and introducing history to your children? Right now I just feel like we talk about things at random, and I would like to have some flow to it. I feel like I have to write my own curriculum, because everything I find is so eurocentric and would have you believe our history started with slavery!; ▶ Reply to This

The way I handle history with my sons is first let them know how when they read any historical documentation, they must keep in mind about who wrote it, and what agenda are they pushing because so much of the worlds history has been covered up and lied about. I like to say that the Bible is the Black mans history book. And we just take it from there. I have my sons watch history documentaries have them take notes then I ask them how those supposed facts relate to current events. History is exciting and we must be excited about it and express enthusiasm about history to our youth, that way we will instill the desire to know more about our past wich will encourage them to thrive and appreciate where we are today as a people and work to make the future even better.
There are many documentaries on google video and youtube. There are also websites focused on uncovering our History. I will make a list and send you the links...i will post them in this thread...I do not have a set curriculum on history. We just learn as we go...Black history is the bomb! The bomb that will destroy the viral ignorance many of our people are suffering from..."My children are destroyed due to lack of knowledge..."

We have been learning Bible and Quranic stories, and I do teach them that these stories are about us, in the history aspect and prophetic of the present day. I use You Tube for geography and science,so why not history as well! Never thought about it, wow. Do your sons keep a notebook or ongoing timeline to keep up with what they have studied? My oldest are 4 (twins), so we rely on narration alot.; ▶ Reply to This
