Black History Month provides an opportunity to shed light on some of the most significant African American voices of the 21st century as well as lesser-known individuals who sought equality for all. What better way to present information to students than by decorating classroom or school bulletin boards with a Black History Month theme?
If you need some creative inspiration to get started, we compiled some great Black History Month bulletin board ideas for elementary and middle school.

This teacher designed his bulletin board around the theme of change, taking the opportunity to share important change agents who made a difference.
This bulletin board showcases some of the inventors worth celebrating during Black History Month—people who helped to pioneer and refine inventions like the refrigeration units for trucks, trains, and planes; the gear shift unit for cars; and the hair straightener.

This teacher used her bulletin board to highlight notable accomplishments of many Black Americans. She wanted an inspiring board to honor the past, celebrate the present, and educate the future.
We hope these ideas are useful for your classroom! Black History Month is the perfect time to honor the achievements of Black thinkers, leaders, and doers throughout history.
