They also include links to other sources for those who need more information.

Another good resource is the Afro American History page. The main focus here is people who were of importance in African American history, including those people that aren't well known in the general public. The African American History website was done as a way to teach high school students about the history of these people. It's divided into different areas of importance including school integration and the Dred Scott Case.
