African Americans
|
In this strand, we will study and explore the experience of African Americans historically and in terms of contemporary issues. We will primarily focus on the post – WWII Civil Rights Movement using the Critical Race Theory model.
Essential Questions: What role did African Americans play in the growth and development of the United States? What role did self-determination play in the trajectory of the African American community? How did political power develop within the African American community and how has this power evolved to work effectively with changing power structures in the United States? What role did Black youth play in the Civil Rights Movement? What challenges continue to face African Americans? What opportunities do we have to enact positive change for African Americans? |
