History to Explore

The Emancipation Proclamation was passed in 1862. Did you know that in the latter part of the 1800s, many formerly enslaved people settled west after it was passed? The Forgotten Black Cowboys Of The Wild West, written by William DeLong, records that as many as 25% (about 3,500) of formerly enslaved people made the Wild Wild West their homeland and became Black Cowboys (learn more).

About Our Sponsor

This episode is sponsored by Night Zookeeper

Thank you Night Zookeeper for sponsoring this episode. Learning should be fun and the Night Zookeeper educational online program is a big hit in my house. My 9-year-old loves it. She asks to use it at least 3 days a week (weekends included). I can’t say that I blame her, it is a very engaging language arts program with a lot of great features. I love that it provides a safe online environment for my children. All of the content that is shared is reviewed by tutors to ensure their safety while they’re in the realm of the Night Zookeeper. My littles love creating new zoo characters and leveling them up by playing games, creating accessories and writing reports. Even my 7-year-old reluctant writer and reader thoroughly enjoys this program. It really does feel more like playing than learning, and that is just what this homeschooling mama needs for her favorite little lion. As a former tutor with America Reads and a five year homeschool veteran, this is one educational tool that I highly recommend.
