What is a Civilization? | Reading Comprehension & Presentation - Digital

When studying Ancient Civilizations, including Mesopotamia, it’s important to address the seven areas of civilization to be able to understand and analyze ancient (and even modern) civilizations. This set of activities is designed to be an easy, no-prep approach to

12 Unknown, Influential African Americans
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th and Frederick Douglass was born on February 14th. Lincoln and Douglass were two great Americans who helped to shape and define this country, and, as a result, their birthdays were celebrated independently in circles and communities since the mid-to-late 1800’s. It is thought that Carter G. Woodson embraced the importance of the second week in February when he introduced “Negro History Week” to celebrate the invaluable contributions of African Americans.
