Assassinated on this day in 1965, Malcolm X is someone to teach the kids about. "I am for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against," he said the same year he was killed.
Here are few good resources:
1) Brain Pop’s animated guide is really good. See it here.
2) Walter Dean Myers’ book, Malcolm X: A Fire Burning, is recommended by the School Library Journal. According to them, the succinct, straightforward text is suitable in content and tone for younger children, while the picture-book format provides accessibility for older reluctant readers as well.
Buy it here.
3) You can send educational e-cards from PBS’ site. Go here to check it out.
4) I am a fan of a study guide. This is meant for teachers presenting on the Autobiography of Malcolm X, but great for parents looking for ways to enrich topics at home. Look here.
