Black History Month - Video/Story

On my news feed at the beginning of the month StoryLine Online posted that a new book was added to their growing library of videos where celebrities read books online. This one is called As Fast As Words Could Fly written by Pamela M. Tuck and read by Dule Hill. The video tells the story of Mason Steel, a young African-American boy living in the south during the civil rights movement, who supports his activist father with the help of a typewriting in the fight for racial equality and ending segregation. According to the press release the video comes with supplemental activity guides for both home and school, aimed at students in 3rd - 5th grades. Since February is Black History month it would make an excellent read aloud (that you don't actually have to read aloud) in the classroom.
