We explore Black History through stories from Dr. Marsha Hardeman, Professor of Africana Studies at the University of New Mexico. From innovations we use every day to settling of the American West, Dr. Hardeman gives us good reason to wake every day and say Thank you Black People! Find the pictures Dr. Hardeman talks about by visiting the episode page: https://www.childrenshour.org/black-history/
We also learn about Civil Rights from our friends at the Earthseed Black Arts Alliance.
And, the kids in the Extinction Diaries let us know whats happening with the worlds rarest bear, the Gobi Bear.
