Essential Historian Skills: Football - Sports: Leveling the Playing Field
<p>History is colorful and complex, and this is one reason why historians enjoy investigating the past.</p>
<p>One of the essential skills for historians to investigate the past is the ability to question a primary source. Primary sources are the building blocks historians use to create history. A primary source is anything that is created by the historical person, made or existed during the historical period the historian is studying.</p>
<p>Some of the answers of the past are locked in primary source objects. Historians access these answers by asking a variety of question to get a variety of answers to help them gain a full picture of the primary source and its answers.</p>
<p>In this collection, you will practice becoming a historian by questioning primary sources centered around African Americans and football.</p>
