AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY

READING FOR

For more than 40 years, Mayme A. Clayton collected items related to African-American history.
She said she started her collection so that children would know that black people have done great
things. Read about four famous African Americans featured in the collection. Then complete the
activities and answer the questions.

Phillis Wheatley was born in Africa and
raised as a slave in Boston, Massachusetts.
At the age of 14, she became the first
African-American poet to publish a book in the
United States. It was published in Boston in 1767.
The book appeared in England six years later.

George Washington Carver (18601943)

George Washington Carver was an inventor,
a botanist and a teacher. He is best known
for creating more than 325 products from
peanuts. Born in Missouri three years before
the end of slavery, he grew up to attend Iowa State
University. He later taught at the Tuskegee Institute,
in Alabama.
