Humans Who Make A Difference

At JASON Learning, we believe that every student should see themselves as a hero, leader, innovator, and change-maker. 

 

For Black History Month, we’re proud to launch our freely available Humans that Make a Difference collection, featuring interactive activities and animated stories of three remarkable individuals who changed the world: Bessie Coleman, Jackie Robinson, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 

The videos and lessons from our Black History Beats collection (available below) bring the stories of these amazing individuals to life. Discover what made them heroes and how their courage and determination made a lasting impact.

Free Videos, Activities, & Resources

Enhance your students’ learning with our engaging PDF activity packets that complement each video. These activities include:

  • Activities to do before, during, and after watching the videos

  • Coloring pages featuring illustrations of Bessie Coleman, Jackie Robinson, and Martin Luther King Jr.

  • Book recommendations for further exploration and literacy connections
