In this capstone project, students complete the research process and create a product that presents their findings. This process fosters a connection to their city, state, community, self, or family through the lens of Black History.
Slavery in America was the embodied contradiction to its promise for equality and universal freedom. Students learn about the history of this period, as well as the key figures and counterforces that were critical to the resistance of slavery.
The end of slavery, hard-won and ultimately inevitable, did not end inequality. Students learn that it was leaders like Frederick Douglass and Hiram Revels who helped pave the way for more opportunities for Black Americans in the fabric of social and political culture.
By the early to mid-20th century, Black Americans were finding new ways to flourish and demonstrate lasting contributions to American culture. Students learn about the sites of resilience and creativity that served to strengthen and unify this country in moments of division.
Through great sacrifice and persistent effort, the Civil Rights Movement expanded freedom, equality, and opportunity. Students learn about the key events and individuals who grabbed the moment and built a movement.
The Civil Rights Movement opened the door for Black Americans to fully participate in society. Students learn about the growth of opportunities that followed the Civil Rights movement and the contributions of Black Americans in STEM, the arts, sports, politics, and government.
