Anti-Racism High School Curricula
I very much like the Jim Crow museum online. Thank
you.
I came across some material that may be appropriate to
link or to refer to as an academic resource for your
site.
Yale and the City of New Haven sponsor a teachers
institute every Summer. Much work has been done to
produce suggested curricula about the Black experience
in America.
Here's a link to the one on lynching:
http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1989/1/89.01.09.x.html
I originally found the site because I was looking for
figures about lynching statistics after Hurricane
Katrina. I believe, when all the deaths from Katrina
are tallied, more Blacks will turn out to have died
from the mal, mis, and nonfeasance of George W. Bush
than from all the lynchings put together from
reconstruction to the 1960's. (Note that accurate
figures about Katrina are hard to find on the net.)
Thank you for the work you do. And may you continue
to have much success.
