From Flint, Michigan to Your Front Door: Tracing the Roots of Racism in America
From Flint, Michigan to Your Front Door: Tracing the Roots of Racism in America
Description:
This lesson plan uses audio and text excerpts from the story "From Flint, Michigan to Your Front Door: Tracing the Roots of Racism in America" by professional storyteller LaRon Williams to inspire conversation among students about the issues of institutional racism, living in two cultures at once, and claiming ones own history and culture. This story and lesson plan address the White, Euro-centrism of our history and culture and the use of story to challenge
that mono-cultural understanding of history. This lesson would also work well as an after school activity or even as part of an anti-racism training done for faculty members during an in-service day.
