Voices of Struggle: Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X with guest speaker Yusef Jonas | From Frederick Douglass to Ta-Nehisi Coates: A workshop series exploring race using texts as a window into history with Susan Stein Each session in this series will explore and analyze literature and art created by African-American writers, artists and thinkers. We will closely read and analyze excerpts of texts and discuss visual art and music. We will consider essential questions and discuss how the past informs the present. These sessions are intended to generate lessons and discussions for use in the classroom. These workshops and the lessons we create for our students will aim to foster empathy and empower teachers to bring their students into these vital conversations. Resources (historical, literary, artistic) will be made available online to the group before each session, and participants will be encouraged to contribute. The workshops are open to all.
