Linked in this guide hosted by Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) is essential information about the study and celebration of Black/African American History Month. Included in the following tabs are lists of fiction books, nonfiction books, and books that are available as eBooks and Audiobooks through our digital platform, Sora. FCPS elementary, middle, and high school media specialists have curated these lists for our students and community in order to highlight and share the rich, important, and powerful cultural, political, social, scientific, and athletic contributions that Black/African Americans bring to both our country and the world.. While some physical books are only housed at certain schools, all FCPS students have access to any books at their school level in the county and on Sora.
