Soul Matters

February’s Soul Matters theme is “What does it mean to be a people of perseverance?” February is also Black History Month, so you may want to talk with your children about the perseverance that black people have demonstrated over the centuries since they were enslaved and brought to the United States. PBS has some useful information at http://www.pbs.org/black-culture/explore and http://www.pbs.org/black-culture/classroom. Much of the material is for middle- and high school students, but you can translate it to fit the needs of your younger children.
