This spectacular program is a great asset for your Black History unit, with 3,000 articles, 2,500 images, as well as video and audio clips. It's also a terrific avenue by which your students can explore the rich artistic and musical contributions of Africa and African descendants. Children can hear and see Louis Armstrong play jazz, and they can also discover how ancient tribal imagery and masks influenced later works of art. In addition, they'll learn about famous African-American dance companies and their extraordinary dancers. The software's vast collection of multimedia helps bring these and other art forms to life in a compelling way. Reader Service No. 86
