Senior project: Reimagining how Black history is taught in public schools
April 7, 2021
For my senior project, I decided to reimagine the curriculum surrounding Black history, as in its current form, it leaves out an uncomfortable amount and is usually a footnote in the larger story of White America. I created a yearlong curriculum that begins in the Reconstruction period and ends in the marathon that was 2020, with the killing of George Floyd and the mainstream resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement following a year of highly publicized instances of police brutality and white supremacy. Here is the link to my work.
