Celebrate Black History Month All Year Long

Books help kids learn about injustice, tolerance, and diversity. Here are five of our favorites: It’s Okay to Be Different // The Skin You Live In // The Colors of Us // All the Colors of the Earth // Same But Different

There are so many movies that celebrate diversity. Our picks: First Position // School of Rock // The Princess Frog // Brooklyn Castle // Mad Hot Ballroom.

Sesame Street is known for amazing diversity and making education fun. It’s paved the way for the following culturally sensitive shows: Postcards from Buster // Bob the Builder // Yo Gabba Gabba // True Jackson

Playtime is great way for kids to learn, use, and enjoy objects from other cultures. We loves these toys! American Girl Historical Doll Collection // Crayola Multicultural Markers // Around the World Play Foods // Global Musical Instruments // Traditional Costumes and Accessories

Participating in activities and making friends at cultural events in your community is the best way to teach children about diversity. The Library of Congress has a site devoted to community events and celebrations. Everything from the Denver March Pow Wow to the annual Black Cowboy Parade in Oakland, CA is featured on the website. Click here to locate your state and find out what’s happening in your neighborhood.
