Black-History-Month.net was created to help people to learn about the amazing contributions to society by African Americans. The goal of this website is to serve as a resource of information about African Americans which is usually overlooked.
Cobblestone Publishing has been producing high-quality nonfiction magazines for young readers since 1980. Our philosophy is that nonfiction, whether it deals with American or world history, world cultures, archaeology, or science, should be a combination of fascinating pleasure reading and factual resource material that educates and enlightens. Cobblestone Publishing's magazines let young people experience the pleasure of reading through an accurate, fascinating, and authoritative resource that is appropriate in the library, the classroom, and the home.
Two teachers who were looking for a way to promote reading and history to children developed the idea for COBBLESTONE magazine in 1979. Their legacy is now a successful publishing company that produces seven theme-based magazines - covering the areas of American history (COBBLESTONE), cultures and geography (FACES), world history (CALLIOPE), science and space (ODYSSEY), African American heritage (FOOTSTEPS), general social studies / reading (APPLESEEDS), and archaeology (DIG). All of the magazines strive to educate and entertain through a creative mix of articles, primary source documents, photographs, and illustrations, as well as fun activities, puzzles, and cartoons.
I bought my first antique map several years ago. I wandered into an antique map store and started browsing through their map collection. An antique map of Africa from 1850 caught my eye - and the rest is history.
Since then I visited map stores wherever and whenever I traveled. I soon had a fairly large collection of antique maps. I managed to maintain a sizable inventory even as I gave several to family and friends and mounted and decorated the walls of my home with a few choice selections. My penchant for map collection soon evolved from just a hobby to what is now today AfricaMaps, LLC.
Welcome to AfriClassical.com from William J. Zick, Webmaster! The Web site was launched in 2000 as a nonprofit educational venture promoting awareness of African Heritage in Classical Music. The first page was devoted to Le Chevalier de Saint-George and within a few months was joined by pages on several other composers and musicians of African descent.
Black Classical Music is a global phenomenon. Site visitors now come from over 100 countries each year. The site is available in two languages, English and French.
We hope this page will help you find specific information if you need it, or will help you decide where you would like to browse if your visit is a more general one.
