Here is a list of websites that were used for our research and inspiration in making this year's Virtual Black History Museum at Queens Metropolitan High School.
"BlackPast is dedicated to providing reliable information on the history of Black people across the globe, and especially in North America. Our goal is to promote greater understanding of our common human experience through knowledge of the diversity of the Black experience and the ubiquity of the global Black presence. Welcome to the largest online encyclopedia on African American and Global African history on the Internet."
"Media Noire was created by me, Natasha Nicolo, and celebrates Black history 366 days of the year. My mission is to motivate and inspire through stories of pride, excellence, and power from across the Black diaspora. Every week new content is released featuring black history profiles and book reviews. Less frequently I share documentary reviews and recommendations for places to visit."
"You’re in the right place if you’re looking for content that will push you forward while also connecting you to the present and teaching you about the past."
Blackfacts.com is a website dedicated to "putting black people in control of [their] narratives," by offering content in various content areas and specialties, from current events to history and everything in between.
"The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a place where all Americans can learn about the richness and diversity of the African American experience, what it means to their lives, and how it helped us shape this nation."
"Established on September 9, 1915, by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, we are the Founders of Black History Month and carry forth the work of our founder, the Father of Black History."
"We continue his legacy of speaking a fundamental truth to the world–that Africans and peoples of African descent are makers of history and co-workers in what W. E. B. Du Bois called, “The Kingdom of Culture.” ASALH’s mission is to create and disseminate knowledge about Black History, to be, in short, the nexus between the Ivory Tower and the global public. We labor in the service of Blacks and all humanity."
"We are the home of grassroots activism for civil rights and social justice. We advocate, agitate, and litigate for the civil rights due to Black America."
"In our cities, schools, companies, and courtrooms, we are the legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells, Thurgood Marshall, and many other giants."
