Eight People Who Made A Difference In Music, Inventions, Sports, And Science

African American history comes alive through music and singing as Patsy Ford Simms presents us with the contributions of Ella Fitzgerald, Scott Joplin, Garrett Morgan, Benjamin Banneker, Jessie Owens, Ora Mae Washington, George Washington Carver, and Daniel Hale Williams.

The collection contains songs that can be used individually or performed together with the rhyming script, creating a mini-musical or revue. Along with reproducible parts, there are learning activities, games and staging suggestions, and choreography ideas. This collection also contains an Enhanced StudioTrax Performance/Accompaniment CD.
