## Description

Harlem Roots is an online educational resource dedicated to making Harlem’s history accessible to students and educators. Created by Carolyn Johnson, founder of the Welcome to Harlem tour company, the brand draws on her experience sharing the neighborhood’s cultural history. Its materials explore Harlem from the Dutch Colonial era through the Harlem Renaissance and Civil Rights Movement, as well as the histories of Spanish Harlem, Jewish Harlem, and local communities, landmarks, and institutions.

Student lessons are designed for kindergarten through grade 12 and offered at three reading levels: beginning, developing, and advanced. Each level covers essential people, places, and events in age-appropriate ways. Lessons may include reading passages, vocabulary exercises, writing activities, penmanship practice, word puzzles, infographics, fun facts, and comprehension quizzes. Topics range across ten categories, including sports, entertainment, education, and historical events, with subjects such as Alexander Hamilton, the Apollo Theater, and Arturo Alfonso Schomburg.

Harlem Roots also offers PDF lesson packets, student bundles, online courses for teachers and other educators, and a podcast and newsletter.
