Black History Month Poems for Elementary School Kids 1.
Please review the poems before using them with your students to make sure they’re appropriate. Note: Due to the nature of this topic, some of the upper-grade poems include references to slavery, violence, and death.
To enhance these conversations, we’ve put together this list of powerful Black History Month poems for kids of all ages. That said, every February, we have an opportunity to educate our students about the important events and figures that shaped this nation, while highlighting the realities we’re still facing today. Black history is American history, so it should be recognized every day.
