Inspirational Black Leaders
This term have been looking the inspirational Welsh leaders, Owain Glyndwr and Llewelyn the Last.
It is important to remember and celebrate the history of all cultures but, as October is Black History Month, we are going to find out about two very important black inspirational leaders.
Below are links to videos showing two inspirational black leaders, Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King. Watch the videos and carry out some research on the websites below, then create an information poster on one of them that explains a bit about their life and shows why they are so important. You can create your poster on A4 paper, or digitally.
*Remember to write what you have read in your own words*
