PLEASE NOTE: This unit is intended to accompany the vast amount of resources already available at the Griot Museum of Black History. (TheGriotMuseum.com) We encourage you to visit the museum, as well as the other museums along St. Louis Avenue before or after your lesson.
This unit introduces students to past and present citizens of St. Louis who helped to shape our city through their contributions. Students will research the people of St. Louis to determine what it takes to make a lasting impact on a community.
