Why is there, to paraphrase Morgan Freeman, a Black History month? There is no Jewish History month, or Native American month, or Spanish month or German month or Japanese month. So why is there a Black History month? History is all people, not just one race.
If i may suggest, go and ask an african american historian or friend and ask if there was a craft of art that is tied to the african/black culture. I am guessing no. But also get some pictures of persons like Martin luther jr. And shoot i am drawing a blank on names. The lady who was instumental in the underground railroad, the lady on the bus, The inventor of the shopping cart, and parking meter. get their pictures and have the kids, ( i am assuming it’s for kids) Do collages around the faces of things that relate to what the person is known for. This way they learn about the person and what the person did. I would even do white men or women who were instumental in helping with issues.
