February: Celebrate! Freedom, Equality, Diversity, Pride Display (Black History Month)

For Black History Month I created a display called "Celebrate! Freedom, Equality, Diversity and Pride." We had already created a Black History Month Display that focused on biographies and speeches, for this display we used fiction books based on historical events and historical figures. We also used non-fiction books that focused on important figures in African American history.

For the signage I drew a picture of the Africa and then I manipulated  four words (Freedom, equality, diversity and pride) to fit the shape of the continent. I used the same color scheme as our other Black History Month display :red, green, black and yellow.

To make the display more decorative we cut out several stars in the same color scheme and taped them all over the display. Very simple and easy display.

February: Words Have Power Display (Black History Month)

February is Black History Month, we created two displays to spotlight famous African Americans and events in history. Our first display is titled "Words Have Power." I wanted to create a display that focused on biographies and famous speeches. We pulled all our biographies on famous African Americans and then we pulled books on famous speeches (We had a few Martin Luther King Jr. books with his speeches). To fill in the display we also added books on how to write speeches.

The signage for the display was simple. I took keywords that described the people spotlighted in the display. I used the following colors to write the words: red, green, black and yellow.I then cut them out and taped them around the display.

 For the display sign I just wrote out "Words Have Power" in the color scheme above.



 

Please feel free to use any of the signage for your own display!
