"Match African American heroes with the events that made them famous." Given our project, to write about and produce media about "unsung heroes of African American history. This game might be a good place to start, because we could then say that students can't use anybody who is in this game.

"Do You Know an Unsung Hero of Black History? The world-changing advances made by African Americans in this century were neither pre-ordained nor inevitable. They are the product of thousands of individuals who changed the world with small decisions every day. Maybe your mother marched, or your uncle sat in at a lunch counter. Perhaps your neighbor is pioneering a field or study, or your brother volunteers with at-risk youth. If you know an Unsung Hero, share his or her story-and a photo if you have one-to remember and honor them during Black History Month."

I like that they are collecting stories of people we might know now, our mothers, uncles, neighbors, teachers, volunteers...

"The unsung heroes were selected based on their contributions toward equal rights and equal opportunities for all people. Some of the honorees helped revive the Greensboro NAACP during the 50s; some were active participants in the lunch counter sit-ins of the 60s while others were active in the end South African apartheid movement of the 80s. Other honorees helped establish community organizations to uplift the poor and our community's vulnerable populations. "
