African American History Videos

Description:

A selection of 16 of our online African American History videos provides junior, middle-school and homeschool students with the opportunity to learn about African American History to the required K-12 standards and learn about the contributions of African Americans to literature, art, and music from the eighteenth century to the present day and gain a greater appreciation for their cultural contributions.

Study how three inspiring African Americans; Benjamin Banneker, Mary McLeod Bethune, and George Washington Carver made their marks on history and triumphed over racism. And travel back to the time of slavery in America, and trace the stories of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Robert Smalls in their risky but successful escapes from bondage and their selfless work to free others.

Examine the hardships endured by slaves in North America and the protests waged to set them free. Learn how African Americans contributed to the Union victory in the Civil War. Learn about the struggle of African Americans to overcome racial discrimination from the end of the Civil War through the 1960s. Identify the contributions of Asa Philip Randolph, Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. to the African American struggle for equal rights.

After watching these online videos students can then use our online interactive quizzes to discover what they have learnt and strengthen their understanding of the subject.

• Before Zane launched this online video service, our school and homeschool customers paid approximately $14.99 for each of our 250 CD-ROM titles which meant a total cost of $3,750 for the entire library. Our new online video subscription service now enables our customers to use exactly the same K12 material online on those 250 CD-ROM titles but now in video format, for as little as $17.99 per month or $197.89 per year (yes, you even get one month free with our annual service). This means a discount and saving of over 93%.

• The TOPIC TASTER MEMBERSHIP is designed to enable customers to study one Topic at a time for a period of 30 days, however it is likely to be of most use to teachers that want to use our videos in the classroom in situations where the school has not yet purchased a School Subscription License. TOPIC TASTER Membership costs barely anything, $5 a month, even a student could afford this themselves on an allowance or from their paper round, and that's exactly the point, this option is made available primarily as a service to help students with homework on a specific topic and to give teachers or parents the ability to test out our services, take a taster of our videos for review, before commiting to a Full Membership.

• Zane retains the right to vary membership prices as an when required without providing notification to customers.
