# Samiah Sudler-Brooks: 2023 Junior Fellows Program

Over the years, the pivotal moment of black history has evolved in today's world. From slavery to Jim Crow, black history has become even more significant. With the recent #BlackLivesMatter protests, Samiah wanted to analyze the history and development of African American organizations from the 1900s to the present day to make it accessible for K-12 students. Today, K-12 students are not exposed to the vast array of African American activists who participated in the Civil Rights Movement. While students learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, there are many more African American activists they should be aware of. While exploring the Library's collections, "NAACP: A Century in the Fight for Freedom", Samiah learned about other activists such as W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, and Stokely Carmichael. She also explored materials on the National Association for the Colored People (NAACP), Black Panther Party (BPP), #Black Lives Matter (#BLM), and Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) for her research and created collages for each organization. By using her guide, K-12 students will be able to learn about the history of these organizations and activists and engage with them through the creation of collages and black-out poetry.
