Engage your class with 30+ Black History Month resources from Adobe Education Exchange 

February is the month when we celebrate the achievements of Black Americans and their key role in US history and culture. And in K–12 classrooms across the country, we know that you're looking for creative and thought-provoking ways to teach students about important events and people in Black history. We’re excited to share more than 30 classroom lessons and activities from the Adobe Education Exchange that you can use in your Black History Month curriculum. The resources are designed for classes like history and social studies, English and language arts, sociology, and even music. Each one involves using Adobe Express to reflect on aspects of history, and you can adapt them as needed to fit different grade levels, subjects, and learning goals. 

Want more? We’ve got you covered! Make sure to check out additional activities for February holidays, including Valentine’s Day, President’s Day and more!
