I, Too, Sing America: Stories and Poems Honoring Black Lives and History Audio Collection

To help students explore African-American history and culture, we have assembled this downloadable audio collection of biographies and folk tales. Jim Weiss tells of Harriet Tubman’s bravery, Satchel Paige’s wisdom, Langston Hughes’s creativity, and more. We include a downloadable PDF of Susan Wise Bauer’s Teaching Guide for Dunbar’s poem, “Sympathy”, designed to help your students better understand the poet’s work and its place in American history.

Written and adapted by Jim Weiss (except as noted).
