"you have the opportunity to be a voice for those that no longer have one; use it to tell their story and do it justice" --Miss.E* I gave this unit and the content explored deep consideration and respectful research as understanding that engaging in conversations about racism, discrimination, slavery, and violence are an inevitable part of exploring African American history and culture justly...this was an experimental passion project for me spawned from a fundamental desire to incorporate elements of developing empathetic capacity through the studying of story (ours and others) with and through art.
