Black History All Year Grades 5 - 8: Multcolib School Corps

(Updated 6/2025) A collection of non-fiction materials about African-American History for students in grades 5 through 8.

The Buckets contain books similar to those on the list (though not every title is exactly the same) plus a teacher's guide. See link below for Buckets of Books. This is a custom book list created by Multnomah County Library School Corps librarians. Are you a teacher that lives or works in Multnomah County?
